Austin's Story

Say hello to Austin! Born around April 15, 2026, Austin is a fluffy little bundle of joy who currently weighs about 5 pounds and is expected to be around 25 pounds when fully grown. Austin's mission in life is simple: find the best sticks, collect the finest pinecones, play tug-of-war with anyone willing to participate, and soak up as many cuddles as possible. This outgoing, happy-go-lucky puppy loves exploring the yard and investigating all the exciting things the world has to offer. When he's finished with his adventures, you'll often find him rolling over for belly rubs and showering his favorite people with puppy kisses. Austin is a social little guy who still loves wrestling and playing with his brother, but he's also learning important puppy skills. He's making great progress with crate training and is beginning to understand the basics of house trainingas much as any eight-week-old puppy can! He's also a fantastic passenger and stays calm and relaxed during car rides. While Austin enjoys toys and games, his favorite thing in the world is being held, told how handsome he is, and loved on by his people. He has a sweet, affectionate personality that will melt your heart in no time. Austin is current on his age-appropriate vaccines, and his future neuter and microchip are included with his adoption fee. If you're looking for a fluffy best friend who is equal parts adventurer, cuddle bug, and professional belly-rub enthusiast, Austin is ready to meet you! Contact us at adopt@carolinapaws.com for more information or to fill out an application. We only accept Adoption Applications within a certain radius of where our volunteers are based. Currently, we are able to accept applications from Mecklenburg and Union counties (NC), and parts of Cabarrus (NC), Lancaster (SC), and York (SC) counties.

Vets and references will be contacted; If you vet office requires client approve before giving out information, we ask that you contact their office once you submit an application. No animal will ever be adopted to "outside only" homes, as we firmly believe pets have a right to the warmth and safety of the indoors. Some dogs may require a fenced in yard or may not be suitable for an apartment, condo or townhome. A meet and greet will be arranged by a Carolina P.A.W.S. representative. A contract must be signed at the time of the adoption. An adoption fee is required to help defray the cost of the pet's spay /neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any other medical cost. All applicants need to be 21 years of age or older to apply. An applicant must be fully employed and proof of employment may be requested. If you reside in a rental property, we will contact the property owner to confirm that an animal is allowed. Please note: We will occasionally allow adoptions of puppies and kittens that are not spayed/neutered; however, the adopter must bring the animal to our vet for spay/neuter . This date will be scheduled prior to adoption and will be stated on the adoption contract. We require the use of our veterinarians because our program relies on subsidized healthcare from our animal hospitals. We will follow up to ensure that all animals are brought in for scheduled spay/neuters. *** We only accept applications within a certain radius of where are volunteers are based in the greater Charlotte NC area. ***
