About this shelter

Shelter Pet Adoption Center in Huntersville, NC

Shelter Pet Adoption Center is located inside Petco at 10017 Biddick Lane in Huntersville, North Carolina, about 15 miles south of Charlotte. It operates as a partnership between Austin Pets Alive! and Petco Love, giving shelter pets from overcrowded and under-resourced facilities a second chance in the local community. The no-kill center is currently working toward a goal of finding homes for 500 shelter pets by April 2026, with on-site staff experienced in local animal welfare helping match adopters with dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens, many of which are available for same-day adoption. The center is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
