Content2 The Animal Care and Control Bureau's pet adoption program brings animals and people together. If you are looking for a new pet, The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Shelter has hundreds of dogs and cats, along with occasional snakes and pot-bellied pigs, to choose from for adoption. The shelter also has two specially designed bonding areas for people to interact and play with the animals they are considering for adoption.

Content6 Let us assist you with your adoption process. Please:
- Have a valid driver’s license or state or government issued ID. If these do not have the correct address, bring in verification of your correct address. Could be a pay check, car registration, utility bill, anything!
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- If there are animals at home, please bring their current rabies certificates with you. If your need a pet license then please also bring their proof of spay/neuter form with you; this way, your pet license will be $10 instead of $30.
- Payments can be made with cash or local checks and MasterCard or Visa. No debit card transactions.
Adoption Prices vary depending on the type of animal you are interested in adopting. See below for a complete list.
