ANIMAL KNEADS DAY WITH GREAT HARVEST BREAD COMPANY

Mark your calendars for this event!  It's one you won't want to miss! 

Sunday, August 24th from 10AM to 3PM

Fundraiser & Adoption Event

It's the 2nd Annual "Animal Kneads Day" Fundraiser at Great Harvest Bread Company

901 South Kings Drive - Charlotte

Our friends at Great Harvest Bread Company have once again stepped up to support Animal Care & Control in a BIG way!

Jeff, Janet and the gang at the Great Harvest Bread Company are opening the bakery (on a day they are normally closed) and coming in bright and early to bake fresh, delicious bread. All this work is to support the animals!

Anyone who comes in on this date and donates $10 will can take home a fresh, just out of the oven loaf of bread.  100% of the proceeds raised will be donated to Animal Care & Control.  The money raised at this fundraiser will go to the Spay & Neuter Fund. 

The Spay & Neuter Fund allows Animal Care & Control to offer FREE Surgeries to the citizens of Mecklenburg County.  This fund is supported by private donations and grants. 

FREE RABIES AND SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC
For Dogs and Cats of Mecklenburg County!!!!!

These clinics are paid for with grants and private donations.  Unfortunately, the clinics can continue only as long as the funds are available.  Once the funds are expended, the clinics will be discontinued.
