Our Shelter Pet Adoption Center inside of Petco in Huntersville, North Carolina aims to Find Homes for 500 Shelter Pets by April 2026.
This initiative is a partnership with Petco Love and Austin Pets Alive! (APA!), a leading national animal welfare organization based in Texas, and aims to help find loving homes for 500 pets by April 2026.
“When we were invited to move into this adoption space, we saw it as a meaningful opportunity to help shelter pets by connecting with a new community,” said Clare Callison, senior director of operations at Austin Pets Alive!. “While our name is a nod to our hometown, our mission has always been simple: keep pets alive, no matter where they are. Whether we’re saving lives in Texas or across state lines, what matters most is that we’re working together to help every deserving pet find a home in Huntersville and the surrounding communities.”
Petco invites the Huntersville community to stop by, meet adoptable pets, and help turn this new space into a place of second chances and new beginnings. The adoption center at Petco, 10017 Biddick Ln, Huntersville, NC 28078, opened on Thursday, April 17th, 2025 with pets ready to find a home. Adoptions will be facilitated by local on-site staff, with years of local animal welfare experience, to help shelter pets go home the same day and support the community.
