Local animal shelter and rescue organizations
Many of our Savvy + Co. Real Estate agents share their homes and hearts with dogs they adopted from a local shelter or animal rescue. Below are a few places to visit when you are ready to add a new BFF (or two or three) to your family.
Humane Society of Charlotte
The Humane Society of Charlotte is a “no-kill” shelter, meaning it believes that no healthy, treatable, behaviorally sound animal should be euthanized in the community. The Humane Society offers a variable adoption fee structure based on a number of factors, such as age, size, breed or temperament. Basic adoption includes a veterinary and behavior screening/testing, spay/neuter surgery, all initial vaccinations, a microchip and 30 days of pet insurance.
