We envision a future when all companion animals have the support, care, and human connections needed to lead healthy, rewarding lives. Our mission is to champion the wellbeing of companion animals and strengthen their bond with the people who know, love, and need them. ![]() We are able to have this excellent outcome by having programming and activities centered on our four pillars of focus which are prevention, retention, placement, and education. Our commitment to this philosophy is evident in our live release rate of 99.9% for the animals that come into our care. We are working towards this goal by supporting our local municipal shelter and those in the greater Charlotte community. We only reserve euthanasia for animals whose prognosis is poor and quality of life is compromised or those that pose a danger to public safety. We believe that no healthy, treatable, behaviorally sound animal should have to be euthanized in our community. The Humane Society of Charlotte follows a no-kill philosophy, which is based on saving all animals that come to us. HSC is not affiliated with any other animal welfare organizations and we do not receive government funding. ![]() As a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the HSC relies on the generous support of animal lovers, grants, bequests, and fees for service. This is an ongoing process - for every animal we can connect with a new family, another animal in need comes to HSC’s shelter.
