Charlotte Pet Adoption: Meet Toby, Dasher, Donner & More
Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. During the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions.
Across North Carolina, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a new companion is at Davie County Animal Shelter, where Donner the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Toby, a Labrador Retriever mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
