Humane Society of Charlotte

What We Do

The Humane Society of Charlotte believes in working to improve our community by creating new, loving families, and building a world where there are no more homeless and unwanted animals. This is an ongoing process — for every animal we can connect with a new family, another animal in need comes to HSC’s shelter.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 - SPECIFIC NEEDS:

With the status of the coronavirus (COVID-19) changing rapidly, the Humane Society of Charlotte is taking precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the Charlotte community while still upholding our duty to care for the animals at our shelter and the members of the community that need us.

Temporarily, all adoptions will be done by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting an animal from HSC, we ask that you visit our Adoption pages and complete the application on the animal’s profile to have your adoption appointment scheduled by our staff.

You can also help by donating to the Humane Society of Charlotte by ordering from our Amazon Wishlist and allowing Amazon to deliver directly to the shelter. Please visit the following web page to access our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AX4JO6BEHEWM/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?pldnSite=1

Monetary donations are incredibly helpful during this time and will allow us to purchase items that as needed. Please visit the following web page to donate: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=hsc&id=333
