UPDATE: ADOPTED!!🚨 URGENT: BELLA NEEDS A FOSTER, ADOPTER OR RESCUE BY 5/20 🚨 Animal ID: A1263053Bella is the sweet girl we helped late one Sunday night after someone posted about her on NextDoor. She had been sitting alone at a construction site for two days, waiting for her family to come back for her. 💔When we arrived, Tucker K-9 Search & Rescue was already there patiently working to gain her trust. After a couple of hours, she was safely trapped and we brought her home for the night.Bella slept peacefully in our garage with no barking, no whining, and no accidents in her crate. The next morning, we took her to @animals_clt In the interaction room, Bella was calm, gentle, and trusting. She laid her head at my feet and simply rested. While we were there, she showed no reaction to other dogs or people.We followed up after and the shelter said she was reclaimed by her owner but the owner returned her back to the shelter a few days later. She is the sweetest pup and is very lowkey.Now Bella is at the shelter and has a deadline of 5/20 due to overcrowding.She urgently needs an adopter, foster, or rescue commitment.📍 Please go meet her at: 8315 Byrum Drive, CharlotteHours: 11-7pm M-F 9-5pm Sat - SunIf you can foster, adopt, rescue, or even just share this post, please 🙏 She is the sweetest girl that is ready for her next chapter with her forever family that would shower her with love.Time is running out. ❤️https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/CHRL/A1263053 by @adoptabledogsclt

UPDATE: ADOPTED!!She didn’t leave. For two days… she stayed in the same spot waiting. 💔On Sunday night around 11pm, I saw a post on Nextdoor about a dog standing in the same spot at a construction site in Charlotte—for two days—without leaving. After reading through the comments and realizing no one had gone to get her yet, my husband and I got in the car and drove over.When we arrived, Tucker K9 Search & Rescue was already there working to gain her trust (with a rotisserie chicken ❤️). We stayed to help, and after a couple of hours—with their expertise—she was safely trapped.We brought her home for the night and set her up in our garage. I kept a camera on her, and she slept peacefully all night—no barking, no whining… just quiet rest. 💤 She didn’t have a single accident in the crate, which may indicate she’s house trained.The next morning, we took her to @animals_clt when they opened. She was incredibly sweet—no aggression at all, just understandably anxious. In the interaction room, she laid down at my feet and rested her head. She didn’t react to other dogs or people—just calm, gentle, and trusting.She appears to be about 3–5 years old, healthy, and likely spayed. She’s clearly been loved.But what broke my heart the most…She stayed in that same spot for two days.Waiting.That kind of loyalty is something special. ❤️She is now at the shelter on a 72-hour stray hold. If her owners don’t come forward, she will be available for adoption, foster, or staycation.👉 Even fostering her would make a huge difference—it gives her a safe place to decompress and also gives her owners more time to find her if they’re out there and not connected to social media.She is an incredibly sweet, gentle soul who deserves a second chance.Please consider fostering her once her stray hold is up.🔗 Foster application:https://charlottenc.seamlessdocs.com/f/EQ79Ro🔗 Shelter profile:https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/CHRL/A1263053 by @adoptabledogsclt

‼️Foster or Adopter needed ASAP forWaffles & Genesis with @animalcityhaven Rescue🧇❤️🌎‼️My husband and I used to walk these two pups at the shelter, and they were always so goofy and incredibly sweet. Waffles was constantly rolling onto his back, completely carefree, while Genesis would stand nearby, patiently and lovingly watching him. You could instantly see how much they loved each other — and how much they loved people.They once shared a life with an owner who loved them deeply and stayed devoted to them through homelessness. They were cherished, protected, and very clearly loved.After their owner’s passing, they went to the shelter where @animalcityhaven stepped up for them the day before they were scheduled to be euthanized, giving them a second chance.They have now been waiting in foster care for years. Their current foster is not able to continue fostering and they need a new foster or adopter now.They urgently need a foster or adopter ASAP. They are a low key pair of pups with a calm demeanor.They can be fostered or adopted, and they can be placed separately if needed. What matters most right now is helping them find a safe, stable place to land.Please share, consider, hope, pray that Waffles and Genesis find the soft landing they deserve — a place where they can relax, feel safe, and be loved.Please contact @animalcityhaven rescue if you can help foster, or if you feel you’d love to adopt these beautiful souls 💛 by @adoptabledogsclt

UPDATE: Bambi is pulled by @countryacresrescuesc and adopted, please consider a donation to this rescue on their page!🚨 URGENT: Rescue Placement Needed for BAMBI 🚨🐾 BAMBI | ID: A1254306Female | 2 years old | Brown & White Pit Bull | 42 lbsRescue Only — Not Eligible for Foster or AdoptionMust have rescue placement by 5:00 PM on 1/11/26@animals_clt Bambi is a young, high-energy girl whose kennel stress has escalated in the shelter environment. While she can be difficult to manage in-kennel due to stress and overstimulation, her behavior outside of the kennel tells a very different story.Once she’s out, Bambi shows who she really is: affectionate, playful, and deeply people-oriented. She enjoys walks, relaxing in the yard with a toy, and absolutely lights up when she gets to run, fetch, or show off her zoomies. Bambi thrives on engagement and connection and is extremely treat-motivated.What we know about Bambi outside the kennel:Fun, silly girl with joyful energyLoves toys (especially soft toys and ropes)Enjoys fetch, running, and active playVery affectionate — seeks pets and hugs“Velcro” dog who loves being with peoplePositive, playful energy toward other dogs (slow introductions recommended)Well suited for an experienced, structured environmentBambi’s challenges are environment-driven, and she needs a rescue partner equipped to provide decompression, structure, and continued behavioral support outside the shelter setting. This is a dog with so much potential.Please help by sharing widely or contacting Animal Care & Control (ACC) immediately if your rescue can assist Bambi. by @adoptabledogsclt
