Dog Days of Charlotte consists of dedicated volunteers that work to rescue animals from local high-kill shelters each and every day. Without their work efforts, these adoptable animals would have no chance at a second life with a wonderful family.
The dogs that are rescued are placed in volunteer foster homes whose sole responsibility is providing temporary shelter and a little love. All dogs are vaccinated and temperament tested before entering a home. There is no cost to the foster home, food, crates, blankets, and medicine (if needed) can all be provided.
The program works with wonderful no-kill rescues within NY, CT, PA, VT and other surrounding states that also rescue from high-kill shelters. They coordinate transports either by van or plane almost every weekend which transport these animals to their next destination; whether it be a no-kill rescue or their forever home.
Fostering with this group is very easy. You can customize this volunteer program to fit your needs and do as much or as little as you’d like. Because you don’t have to foster for a long period of time, you end up being able to save more animals than you ever thought you could!
1. Animals are still gassed, sometimes twice a day in several states, including our surrounding Mecklenburg County shelters.
2. Many dogs are only at the shelter for 24 hours before they are gassed.
3. The horrific gas execution can last up to 40 minutes and sometimes needs to be repeated.
4. Majority of the animals are gassed due to lack of space, being too skinny or having a shy character.
5. These animals are and would make great pets.
