Clear The Shelters Day In Charlotte, NC Today: Find Your Fur-ever Friend

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

Clear The Shelters Day In Charlotte NC Today, Saturday, August 19th is Clear The Shelters Day sponsored by NBC Charlotte, as well as by NBC and Telemundo-owned stations in cities around the country. Clear the Shelters is a nationwide pet adoption initiative whose purpose is to find fur-ever homes for homeless pets. Since 2015, with over 900 participating shelters, almost 105,000 pet adoptions have taken place as a result of this initiative.

 

Animal shelters get overcrowded in the summer months because of spring litters.  NBC Charlotte has teamed up with Charlotte area shelters to help find fur-ever homes for the homeless pet population. Many of these shelters have agreed to waive or reduce adoption fees today. All pets available for adoption have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

 

Today is a great day to go out and find your fur-ever companion and to save a life at one of Charlotte area's participating shelters, which include:

 

 

Humane Society of Charlotte
2700 Toomey Ave
Charlotte, NC 28203
(704) 377-0534

Humane Society of York County

Richard Bazinet /MBA, CRS, ABR ~ hi Richard... I deliver supplies to my favorite shelter every 4-6 weeks and I always cry on the way home after seeing so many beautiful cats and dogs in cages just hoping for someone to take them home and love them.

Joan Cox ~ hi Joan... the pet adoption cause is very near and dear to my heart. Somehow I never feel as if I am doing enough to promote it. But I keep trying.

I do believe the pet adoption route is the way to go although I am not sure I can get another pet.  After having put my dog dog a month ago not sure I want to experience that ever again!

If anything can make me cry faster it is unwanted or abandoned pets. Too much joy goes out of the world when nothing happens.

Grant Schneider ~ hi Grant... a wonderful dream to clear all those shelters... the sad reality is that they as quickly as they get cleared they fill up again.

Gary L. Waters, Broker Owner, Waters Realty of Brevard, LLC ~ hi Gary... I've been through that business of having to put down beloved dogs and cats and it never gets easier. And each time I've said I couldn't go through it again... and yet, as time passes the pull towards having another fur-baby to love is greater than the fear of having to let go of them one day. I once heard someone say this was the ultimate expression of love... to take in a pet knowing it will die before you.
