The Humane Society of Charlotte Welcomed 43 Dogs Due To The After-Effects Of Hurricane Laura

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (News Release) – The Humane Society of Charlotte (HSC) welcomed 43 dogs from southeastern Alabama on Wednesday, September 2 in the early morning hours due to the after-effects of Hurricane Laura. HSC will help find placement and re-home the dogs with their forever families, including 25 puppies, in the coming weeks.

Because of the devastating effects of Hurricane Laura, HSC partner and friend, Save A Pet in Dothan, Alabama has experienced a sharp increase in intakes over the last week. Like many rural areas in the United States, the facility struggles with over-population during normal times. The Humane Society of Charlotte teamed up with Save A Pet to help them maximize their limited space as more displaced animals continue to arrive from across the Gulf states and storm clean-up continues.

At this time, the dogs are not available for adoption until their needs are further evaluated. Puppies too young for adoption will be placed in foster homes and all other adoptable animals will be spayed or neutered, receive a full medical and behavior assessment, and be made available for adoption as soon as possible.

For updates on these animals, follow HSC’s social media channels where the organization will continue to post more information about when they will become available for adoption.
