How You Can Help the Humane Society of Charlotte:

Thank you so much for your calls and emails in regards the puppy mill rescue and our (Humane Society of Charlotte's) involvement. We truly could not run our shelter without your continued support, and we wanted to share our need item list for the 40 puppies and dogs we have received here.  These wonderful canines will be going straight into foster care and are not available for adoption at this time; dates of adoption availability are also unavailable at this time.  Our goal is to insure they receive the medical, social and loving care they very much deserve.

If you are interested in adopted these or any available animals at the Humane Society of Charlotte, please get info here.

Our (Humane Society of Charlotte's) immediate needs are for:

· Monetary Donations
· PURINA ONE Canned Dog Food (for weaning puppies)
· SCIENCE DIET Puppy Food (for nursing mothers)
· Puppy Pads
· Ziploc Freezer Bags Gallon Size (for storing food)

All items can be delivered to our shelter located at 2700 Toomey Avenue.  Donations can also be made on line at www.humanesocietyofcharlotte.org.

Again, thank you so much for your amazing generosity … it will make a huge difference in the lives of these beautiful animals.

1. Make sure your pet has access to fresh water at all times. Even the healthiest pets can get dehydrated, have a heat stoke and sunburn if overexposed to heat.
2. Don't put insect repellent or sunscreen on your pet, unless it's intended for use on pets.
3. Keep your pet away from matches, cintronella candles and lighter fluid, which, if eaten, can irritate the stomach, lungs and central nervous system.
4. Don't leave your pet unsupervised around a pool, lake or high waters - not all dogs are expert swimmers!
5. NEVER leave your dog, cat or any other animal alone in a car! The inside of a car can heat up very quickly - even with a window open.
6. Have a plan for your pet in the event of tornado, flood, hurricane or other natural disaster.  Develop an evacuation plan well ahead of an emergency.
