In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control, in Charlotte, is conducting a special Your Lucky Charm program throughout this month. All adoptable dogs will be provided free of charge with a monetary donation to the shelter.

They report that they are at capacity with adoptable dogs, so the initiative is meant to help find them new homes and, at the same time, provide people with their new best friends.

For those wanting to meet and interact with and consider adopting any of their adorable pets, it’s requested to arrive at the shelter no later than one hour prior to closing so to be fully assisted with interactions and then completing adoption paperwork which is always done on an in-person basis. Any information on the pets that they have will be given to visitors upon arrival; make sure to have their seven-digit animal ID number (that starts with an A).

Location: 8315 Byrum Dr. For more information or to view their current adoptable dogs, visit www.Animals.cmpd.org or animalsclt on Facebook and Twitter, animals_clt on Instagram or @animalsclt on YouTube.
