Charlotte’s main animal shelter just barely avoided a heartbreaking crisis—at one point, they had only two open kennels left, which could have meant tough choices for dozens of dogs. Thanks to a recent adoption push, 31 kennels are now open, but the shelter is still packed and more pets arrive every day. Rising living costs and high pet fees are forcing many families to give up their dogs. If you’ve ever thought about adopting, now’s the time. Even one adoption can make a huge difference for these animals and our community. Would you consider opening your home to a new furry friend? #Pets #Charlotte #AdoptDontShop
