Story

Meet Allie – Your Next Best Friend! Hi there! My name is Allie, and I’m a 7-year-old sweetheart with the heart of a puppy and the soul of a snuggler. Don’t let my age fool you – I’ve still got plenty of pep in my step, and I absolutely love going on long walks, sniffing out new adventures, and discovering the world one curious sniff at a time! I’m a gentle and affectionate girl who’s always up for playtime – toss me a squeaky toy, and you’ll see my eyes light up with joy. But what I really adore the most? Cuddles. Yep, I’m a world-class couch companion. Whether it's a chilly night or a lazy Sunday, you can count on me to be your little spoon (or big spoon – I’m not picky!). I’m fiercely loyal and will be your shadow, your confidante, and your biggest cheerleader. I may be unsure around other dogs at first, but with a little patience and love, I know I’ll make furry friends too. I’m not just looking for a house – I’m searching for a home filled with love, cozy corners, and people who will cherish me for the amazing girl I am. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side, keep you warm, and bring a whole lot of love into your life, I’m your girl. Let’s make forever happen! Allie is located in Houston, Texas. Apply to adopt me at: houstonk911rescue.org/adopt

Story

Hi there, I’m Nisey! I may have been a little scared and unsure when I first arrived at the shelter, but guess what? Once I got into a foster home, I really started to come out of my shell! Now I’m showing everyone what a sweet, loving girl I truly am. I’ve got some wonderful home note, my foster says I’m a gentle, affectionate pup who absolutely loves belly rubs and butt scratches (seriously, they are the best thing ever). I’ve also dog-tested well, and I’d probably do just fine around cats, too! I’m still learning my leash manners… sometimes I get a little excited and want to roll around instead of walking, but I’m trying my best and getting better every day. Patience and kindness go a long way with me, and I promise I’ll reward you with so much love. If I have a committed adopter or foster, I can be transported right to the Shelter Pet Adoption Center inside Petco (10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville NC 28078) on December 18th, 2025 so we can meet in person! If you’re interested in me or want to learn more, my wonderful team is ready to help! Email: ncteam@austinpetsalive.org Phone: (704) 266-3647 I can’t wait to find my person—maybe that’s you!
