Charlotte-mecklenburg Animal Care & Control

About

We are a multi-faceted agency dedicated to providing the citizens of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County with animal care services. We are an organization that values community partnerships and working jointly to build a better world for animals and the people who own them. Animal Services is a division of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department under support services. It is recognized and emulated nationally as a leading model within the animal welfare community, and takes pride in initiating and implementing progressive programs and​ pr​actices. The main facility is over 45,000 square feet. Included in the main facility are approximately 165 dog runs and 220 stainless steel cages. The building also provides an area for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Services Clinic operated by Animal Care & Control staff members. Animal Control was established in Charlotte/Mecklenburg on July 10, 1944. In 1983 The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County consolidated the Animal Control agencies, which then began functioning under the Operations Department of the City of Charlotte. In 1990 Animal Control became a free standing department under the City of Charlotte. In October of 1993 the Mecklenburg County Police Department consolidated with the Charlotte Police Department forming our organizational title as the “Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Control Bureau”. In 2007 City Council approved a name change, Animal Control was re-named to Animal Care & Control Division to better reflect their community outreach efforts and commitment towards animal welfare and saving the lives of companion animals.
