We dropped in to the Cornelius Animal Shelter today to donate some cat litter, treats and toys…read more When we lived in New York we worked closely with the local animal shelter and would foster sick cats and kittens through them until they were ready to go back to the shelter and get adopted. Our new place down here isn't big enough to handle fosters, but we still want to help out all those poor kitties. The shelter is set up to hold about sixty cats at a time (not sure how many dogs), though when we went there were under twenty of them. The cages are very spacious and clean which is important to not only the cat's health but to make them more "attractive" to prospective parents who drop in. There is also a nice little wooded area set aside as a dog walking trail, so there is a nice place where their dogs can get some exercise. The employee at the front desk was very friendly and appreciative of our donation. The location is a little off the beaten path but still worth visiting if you're looking to bring home a new family member. The cost to adopt a cat is $85 and it's $95 for a dog. I would highly recommend adopting over purchasing from a breeder or somewhere else.

I met my new little family member at a 4th of July Block Party and knew she was the one as I have been looking for quite some time now. After speaking with Holly Hicks (owner) and the rest f the staff it was clear that they were in this for the animals and truly cared about finding them loving homes. I filled out an adoption form and called Holly shortly thereafter. While she is not located in Midland, NC, she often meets there as she works closely with McCoy Feed & Supply http://www.mccoyfeed.net/ ( hence the address is McCoys) The adoption was $250 and includes her first shots, micro-chip, and spay when she is older (voucher). I also was given a huge bag of food, some de-wormer, and some special treats from McCoys. While I know not everyone can adopt, I strongly encourage you to donate as they are a wonderful organization http://tailsofhoperescue.org/available.shtml Thank you Holly, as I can honestly say Bindi has already enriched my life so much, I really admire what your organization does and am a very happy dog-mom!

I'm so thankful I did, because the super kind Animal Control Officer explained that the Rescue had CLOSED, but she directed me to reach out to the Save A Mutt Kennel because the dogs from Carolina Canine Rescue had been taken there. She then looked up the Kennel's phone number for me. I wish I knew this awesome young lady's name. She went the extra mile to get me to the right place.

We contacted Chance Fur Life looking for a dog a few weeks ago. Jillian and Chad were unbelievably…read morehelpful in helping us find the perfect fit for our family. They were able to give us many options from a local kill shelter (without us feeling pressured- really!) and then followed through with all the information we could ask for about the dogs we were interested in. Jillian was constantly available and willing to work with us when it came to transportation for our new pup. We received constant updates with pictures from both Jillian and Chad, which made us feel included through the entire adoption process; from them pulling him out from the kill shelter and then rehabilitating him until we were able to adopt. We got constant training updates so we felt ready and prepared for him when we brought him home. He is already settling in nicely, alive and happy! Thank you so much!!

They all just got spayed/neutered and were awaiting pick up for their new homes. A lot of the big dogs too. They were only about 4 available dogs. I got there about 3pm and also saw people leaving the clinic side of the building with their cone head dogs too. This makes my heart so happy. This place is doing wonderful things and making magic. They had adorable cats too, well 1 cat and about 6 kittens. ‍ also noticed they had a cat cafe but I didn't see a espresso machine and I only saw 1 cat. I don't know if it's only open certain hours but that's a wonderful idea. The sign said tea also so I hope they're able to get that going and they make need a volunteer for the cafe. Or a book club and other groups to visit! Wink wink
