Animal Shelters in Charlotte, NC
Charlotte has 15 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. The largest group are rescue organizations. Matthews and Harrisburg, both within about 13 miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Charlotte — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Charlotte has 15 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The listings fall across Mecklenburg County and Cabarrus County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Matthews, Harrisburg and Wesley Chapel all have listings within about 13 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
