The Greater Charlotte Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) serves the animals and people of Charlotte, NC and the surrounding counties. We are an autonomous organization not affiliated with or supported by any other SPCAs including the ASPCA. We are also not a government-run organization. The Greater Charlotte SPCA is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit. All donations are deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Greater Charlotte SPCA does not own or operate a shelter facility. Volunteers foster all animals in their homes until adopted.
The first step is to find your new best friend. View photos and details of all our animals up for adoption on our website. After you have found your new best friend, please complete and submit an online adoption interest form. Once received, we will review it. We will contact your vet to verify that all pets are spayed or neutered as well as up to date on vaccines and heartworm preventative. We do not adopt to homes that have unaltered pets (except for a verifiable medical reason not to spay/neuter). You will need to bring current pets up to date on vaccines if they are not already. If everything checks out, we will contact you to schedule a home visit. If your home visit is successful, we consider you "approved". You can then proceed with the adoption. We will prepare a contract, have you sign it, and you will pay an adoption fee. You can then bring your new family member home.
