This will be applied to surgery costs. The Humane Society of Charlotte will make a donation after the procedure.
Spay/neuter costs are $33 per animal and $40 for cats. This price includes three days' worth of pain medication that can be taken home for both cats and dogs. After the procedure, cats will be given a prescription to an anti-inflammatory medicine that will last them for 72 hours. Additional services, such as heartworm medication and flea/tick prevention, are also available. Payments can be made via credit/debit or appointment.
Dog park
The Humane Society of Charlotte offers a wonderful place for pet owners to take their dog for a walk or enjoy the dog park. They offer off-leash dog parks open from 7:30 am until sunset. All dogs must be kept on leash and placed in designated waste containers. Dogs are prohibited from eating in the park. They must also be spayed or neutered and a pet parent must be in the dog park at all times and within voice-command distance of their animal.
The Humane Society of Charlotte is a nonprofit that has been serving the community for decades. They provide low-cost and free veterinary services. In the 1990s, the shelter was home to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Animal Care and Control division. The original building featured a large atrium, lined with cinderblock and lacking windows. After a huge pet adoption boom, Humane Society of Charlotte relocated to a former station. The shelter was not designed for containment and was full of vermin. The new facility will be home to the Humane Society of Charlotte, and will offer pet adoption and veterinary care to more than 30,000 animals a year. The new facility will house three times more cats, and it will also have an outdoor "cat catio".

How To
How do you choose the right name for your pet?
Choosing a name for your pet is one of the most important decisions you'll make when adopting a new animal into your home. Names should reflect the personality and character of your pet.
It is important to consider how other people might refer to you - for instance, if they are going to be called by their name in conversation. Last, consider how you wish to be referred too. You might be more inclined to call yourself "dog", or "pet".
These are some tips to get you started.
-
Select a name to fit your dog's breed. Look up the names associated to the breed, if you have a good idea of what it is (e.g. Labradoodle). Or ask someone who knows dogs well to suggest a name based on the breed.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds are named for people or places, others are nicknames. One Labrador Retriever was named Rover because he loved to run!
-
Consider what you would like to be called. Are you more comfortable calling your dog "dog" or "pet?" Would you call your dog "Puppy" or "Buddy"?
-
Make sure to include the owner's name. It's sensible to give your dog an owner's name. But, don't limit yourself by limiting your family's names. Your dog may grow up to be part of your family, too!
-
Many pets may have more than one name. A cat, for instance, could go by different names depending upon where she lives. When she visits her friends, she might be called "Kitty Cat" but "Molly", at home. This is especially true for cats who live outside. They may choose to name themselves after the environment in which they live.
-
Be creative There are no set rules. Make sure you choose something memorable and unique.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. You won't accidentally steal the identity of someone else!
-
Finally, remember that choosing a name for your pet isn't an exact science. Sometimes, it can take time to find the right name for your dog. Keep at it until you find the right match.
