The most current medical records
To bring a dog or cat to spay or neuter, it is necessary that you have current medical records. The Humane Society of Charlotte Spay/Neuter Clinic needs a $25 deposit. This will be applied to surgery costs. The Humane Society of Charlotte will donate the deposit after the procedure.
Spay/neuter costs are $33 per animal and $40 for cats. The price of spay/neuter surgery for dogs and cats includes three days of home pain medication. A prescription is issued for an anti-inflammatory for cats that will last up to 72 hours. Additional services, such as heartworm medication and flea/tick prevention, are also available. An appointment is required. Payments are accepted via credit/debit.
Dog park
Pet owners love to take their dogs to The Humane Society of Charlotte. They have off-leash pet parks available from 7:30am to sunset. All dogs must be kept on leash and placed in designated waste containers. Dogs may not eat in the park, and only small treats are allowed. The dog must also have been spayed or neutered. A pet parent must be at the dog park at any time and within a voice-command distance.
Since its inception, the Humane Society of Charlotte has provided low-cost or free veterinary services to the community for over a decade. In the 1990s, the shelter was home to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Animal Care and Control division. The original building featured a large atrium, lined with cinderblock and lacking windows. After a pet adoption boom, the Humane Society of Charlotte moved into a former police station. This building was built with containment in mind, and the shelter had vermin and overcrowded quarters. The new facility will be home to the Humane Society of Charlotte, and will offer pet adoption and veterinary care to more than 30,000 animals a year. The new location will allow for three times more cats to be housed and there will be an outdoor cat "cat-cave".

Pet owners often end up with their children being bitten. This is especially true of small dogs.
Pit bulls and other breeds of dog can be very aggressive towards animals.
Although a dog may seem friendly, that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't attack an animal.
If you decide to get a dog, make sure it is properly trained. Your child should always be supervised while playing with the dog.

Which is the best pet you have?
The best pet is the pet you love. There is no correct answer. Every person has his own opinion about which pet is the best.
Some believe that cats are better than their canine counterparts. Others argue that dogs are more loyal to their owners and more affectionate. Still, others argue that birds are the best pet.
You must choose the right type of pet for you, regardless of what breed.
If you're friendly and outgoing then a dog is right for you. A cat is the best choice for you if you are shy or reserved.
Also, think about the size of your house and apartment. A smaller apartment means you'll need a less large pet. A larger house, on the other hand will require you to have more space.
Remember that pets need lots of attention. They need to be fed regularly. They should be taken on walks. And they need to be brushed and cleaned.
Knowing all these details will allow you to choose the best pet possible.
Which is easier to train: cats or dogs?
Both. It depends on how they are trained.
They will learn quicker if you reward them for following the instructions. They'll learn to ignore you if they don't listen.

How To
How to choose the best name for your pet
Name selection is one of most important decisions when you adopt a pet. You want to pick a name that reflects who they are and what kind of personality they have.
You need to think about how others may refer to you. Last, consider how you wish to be referred too. Are you more comfortable calling yourself "dog" or your "pet"?
These are some tips to get you started.
-
Pick a name that fits your dog's breed. Look up the names of the breeds if you know the breed (e.g. Labradoodle). Ask someone who is familiar with dogs to recommend a name that fits the breed.
-
Be aware of the meaning behind the name. Some breeds were named after people or specific places, while others are just names. The name "Rover," for example, was given to a Labrador Retriever because he was always running around!
-
Think about how you'd like to be called. Is it more fun to be called "dog" than "pet"? Do you prefer to call your dog "Puppy", or "Buddy?"
-
Remember to include the first name of your owner. It is a smart idea to give your dog a name that includes both your first and last names. However, it doesn't mean you should limit yourself to just including the names of family members. Your dog could become part of your family as well!
-
Be aware that many pets have multiple names. For example, a cat might go by several names depending on where she lives. While she may be called "Kitty Cat" at her home, she might go by "Molly" when visiting her friends. This is especially true for cats that live outside. Cats often choose to adopt their name according to their surroundings.
-
Be creative There are no rules that say you have to follow a certain naming convention. Just make sure that you choose something unique and memorable.
-
Make sure that your chosen name doesn't already belong to another person or group. You won't accidentally steal the identity of someone else!
-
Don't forget that choosing a name is not an exact science. Sometimes it takes some time to decide if a name is right. Keep looking until you find that perfect name.
