CHARLOTTE, N.C. (News Release) — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control (AC&C) is on the cusp of a historical moment as it closes in on a 90% save rate for animals processed through the shelter, designating it as a “no-kill” community for the very first time.
A special campaign, “900 Countdown”, started in November, has encouraged adoptions of 900 animals to assist in reaching the 90% goal. Currently, approximately 133 adoptions are needed to reach 900! Also included in that magic 90% are lost animals that are returned home and animals transferred to rescue partners as these are also positive outcomes.
A local public figure, who is also an animal lover and a supporter of AC&C for many years has announced that she plans to camp out at the shelter to encourage anyone in the Charlotte community who has been considering adding a pet to their family to come down and adopt!
Kristen Hampton of Kristen Hampton Good News will begin her camp out this afternoon around 2 PM and will stay through the night and until closing at 7 PM on Thursday. She will be doing segments on Facebook live, introducing some adoptable animals, and possibly throwing in a little product testing!
