The Humane Society of Charlotte s working with you to create a world where there are no more homeless and unwanted animals. As a “no kill of adoptable animals” shelter, our policy is that all treatable and trainable animals at the Humane Society are offered the opportunity of a safe and loving home. Our “no-kill of adoptable animals” policy is defined as:

No animals are euthanized for space. When the shelter is at capacity, animals are placed with ‘foster’ volunteers. Animals that do not adjust well to a shelter atmosphere are also placed with foster volunteers until they are adopted.

Financial and personnel resources are used to provide veterinary care to treat animals with medical conditions that are treatable in order to place healthy animals for adoption.

Financial resources are used to provide a behavior specialist to train animals with trainable behavior issues in order to improve their social skills and enable them to adjust and adapt well in a home with their new family.

Animals with conditions that are beyond the scope of veterinary medicine to treat or cure or animals that have demonstrated a severe threat to public safety are not placed for adoption. In those rare exceptions we provide counseling to help the family make the humane and appropriate decision for the animal.

The Humane Society of Charlotte is a private, 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization supported by the generosity of many animal lovers, grants, bequests and fees for services.
