CHARLOTTE, NC (News Release) — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (ACC) animal shelter renovations to meet North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services standards, and the American Disabilities Act are ongoing.
The shelter is down 46 kennels and has reached full capacity with 81 new dogs entering the shelter since March 1st.
The Goal: Clear kennels as soon as possible
How To Work Towards The Goal:
- Get as many dogs out of the shelter as possible
- When dogs in adoption kennels move out the dogs from lost kennels can move into those spots. In turn, when dogs from lost kennels move to adoption kennels, then dogs from the temporary holding areas move to the lost kennels.
Adopt: If you have been thinking about adding a dog to your family, there is no better time than now to help save a life, while finding the best, total, and faithful companion.
Foster: If you can’t adopt but have room for a foster, long-term fostering for rest & relaxation is urgently needed.
Sponsor: Team up with a local doggy daycare or boarding facility to sponsor a stay for an ACC foster dog. Email friendsofcmas@gmail.com
Donate: Friends of CMAS Pet Boarding Fund
In order to be successful, we will need to have more dogs moving out of the shelter and into homes, more quickly than the dogs that are coming in. We will desperately need Charlotte and the surrounding communities to be the lifelines for these dogs in order to avoid any euthanasia for space, which no one wants to happen.” – Melissa Knicely/Animal Care & Control Communications & Community Outreach Manager
