👋 
I’m Hailee. 

My husband and I have two fur babies at home (Piper & Grif). We love dogs! 🐶 

Over the past six months, I became interested in volunteering my time at dog shelters. 

I spent some time at the Anson Co. shelter and now I am officially able to volunteer at the Charlotte-Meck Animal Care & Control shelter. 👏🏻

I created this account to help share pups in need of adoption/fosters. 🐾 

Give me a follow! ☺️ taken in Charlotte, N.C. by @boopthereitisclt

Things Lentil would rather be doing… 🤍

…riding shotgun on your errands, napping on your bed, chewing on a bone in the living room, and joining you on evening walks.

Instead, she’s waiting for someone to choose her.

Meet Lentil (A1264180) 🐾

• 4 years old
• 45 pounds
• Unaltered female Pit Bull Terrier
• Affectionate, sweet, and curious
• Easy to leash and walk
• Takes treats gently
• Loves bones and toys
• Professional splooter
• Enjoys sniffy walks and exploring
• Non-reactive passing other dogs (slow introductions always recommended)
• Has the cutest little piggy snorts and the sweetest smile

As kennel space continues to shrink, Lentil is one of the dogs who urgently needs a way out.

She can leave the shelter through:
• Adoption
• Foster
• Rescue

📍Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Services
🆔 A1264180

Please share Lentil—you never know who might be looking for a dog just like her. 🤍

UPDATE 7/19: SHRIMP IS SAFE IN FOSTER! 👏🏻❤️

Shrimp 
🚨DEADLINE 7/22 at 7 pm 

What if all Shrimp needs is a temporary place to land? 🖤

Don’t let his kennel behavior fool you.

Shelter stress has him putting on a tough front, but once he’s outside, Shrimp is calm, affectionate, and eager to connect.

❤️ Loves attention

🐾 slow introductions with other dogs 

🦴 Takes treats gently

🛁 Even enjoyed bath time

💪 Best with a strong, confident handler

The most important thing to know:

🏡 You do NOT have to adopt Shrimp to save him.

He can leave the shelter with:
• A foster through Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Services
OR
• A rescue organization

Sometimes all a dog needs is a temporary place to stay while a rescue secures placement or a forever home is found.

🐾 Shrimp (A1266855)
• American Bulldog mix
• Approximately 3 years old
• 88 pounds

📍 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Services

⏰ Needs a foster or rescue by 7 PM on Wednesday, July 22.

If you can’t foster, please share. 
One share could reach the person who’s been looking for a dog just like Shrimp.

• 🥜 Peanut butter enthusiast & takes treats like a gentleman
• ☀️ Loves sunshine, belly rubs, rolling in the grass, and cozy naps

• 🚶 Easy to walk and enjoys relaxed strolls
• 🏡 Mostly potty trained and sleeps outside his crate

🚨Charlotte Animal Care and Control is at MAX capacity.

Every adoption and every foster opens a kennel for another dog in need. Right now, we need our community’s help to get dogs out of the shelter and into loving homes.

Here’s how you can help:
🐾 Adopt.
🏡 Foster—even if it’s only temporary.
☀️ Spending the summer at home? Consider fostering during your staycation.
📲 Share this reel so more people see these amazing dogs.

You may not be able to do everything, but you can do something. 
And that something could change a dog’s life.

Please ask me how you can help! 🐶#adoptdontshop #rescuedog #charlottenc taken in Animal Care & Control by @boopthereitisclt

🚨 DEADLINE TODAY (7/13) at 7 PM 🚨

Meet Rex (A1227726).

After spending time with him, one thing became very clear…

This is a dog who simply wants to be close to his people.

He happily took treats from my hand, leaned in for pets, and soaked up every bit of attention. It’s hard to understand how such a sweet dog has run out of time.

Rex has already shown he can be a wonderful companion in a home.

🐾 House trained (still needs work with crate training) 

🐾 Walks beautifully on leash

🐾 Gentle and affectionate

🐾 Loves being with his people

🐾 Needs SLOW introductions to other dogs and time to decompress. 
He would even thrive as the only dog in the home.

Like many dogs, Rex also struggles with separation anxiety. He would do best with someone who works from home, has a partner with a different schedule, or can give him the time and consistency he needs to settle in.

His foster can no longer keep him, and now Rex urgently needs a rescue takeover.

⏰ Deadline: TODAY (7/13) at 7:00 PM

📍 Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control

🆔 Rex A1227726

🚨 Rescue Only

Please share, tag rescues, and help us find the person willing to give Rex another chance. 
Your share could be the one that saves his life!

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control is at MAX capacity. 💔

When there isn’t enough space, healthy, adoptable dogs can lose their lives simply because there is nowhere for them to go.

The good news? Every single one of us can make a difference.

Whether you foster, adopt, take a dog on a staycation, or simply share their stories, your action could be the reason a dog gets another chance.

Please take a moment to look through the graphic below and see how you can help. 
Even if you can’t bring a dog home, sharing this post could help it reach the one person who can. 👏🏻

Together, we can create the space these dogs desperately need. ❤️🐾 taken in Animal Care & Control by @boopthereitisclt

UPDATE: 7/10- Polly is SAFE! 

💔 She doesn’t know she has a deadline of MONDAY 7/13…

She just knows that every person she meets is another chance to make a friend.

Every volunteer who spends time with Polly says the same thing:
She’s incredibly easy to love.

The heartbreaking part?

None of that matters if a rescue and foster don’t step forward before her deadline.

🐾 Meet Polly

• ❤️ 4 years old
• ⚖️ 47 pounds
• ✅ Spayed
• 🚗 Excellent in the car
• 🌊 Water is her happy place
• 🎾 Loves fetch & squeaky toys
• 🦴 Happy with toys and bones
• 🤲 Takes treats gently
• 💕 Loves everyone she meets
• 🐕 No small dogs or small animals
Would be best as only dog and prefers male dogs. 
👶🏻Best with kids over 12 due to her fun, high energy and mouthy play style.
• 🫶 Loyal companion who simply wants to be with her people

🚨 Polly can ONLY leave the shelter through a rescue.

She urgently needs:

UPDATE: Polly is safe! ❤️🥹

🏖️ Welcome to Polly’s Beach Club 🌊

The water is always perfect, the toys never stop squeaking, the belly rubs are unlimited… and the smiles? They’re contagious. 💙

Polly is a volunteer favorite for a reason. She is the kind of dog who makes every outing feel like the best day of summer.

4 year old, spayed female
🐾 47 pounds — the perfect medium-sized adventure buddy
☀️ Loves everyone she meets
🌊 Water is LIFE (seriously!)
🚗 Great in the car
🦴 Loves squeaky toys, bones, and snacks
💋 Sweet, affectionate, and happiest right by your side
🐾 Unbothered by reactive dogs (slow introductions are always recommended)

Polly has spent far too long in and out of the shelter system since March 2025, through absolutely no fault of her own.

Now Polly needs another chance.

🚨 Polly is RESCUE ONLY and has a deadline of Monday, July 13.

She must be pulled by a rescue, and a foster is needed through that rescue to save her life.

If you’re involved with a rescue, foster for one, or know someone who is, please share Polly’s story today. 
One rescue saying “yes” could change everything for this incredible girl.

UPDATE: 7/9 
Wayne is SAFE!!! ❤️

🚨 URGENT – DEADLINE TODAY (7/7) BY 7 PM 🚨

Wayne (#A1265826) needs a foster through a rescue to save his life.
**We do HAVE a rescue. Just need a foster!**

Volunteers describe him as super chill, an easy walker, and happiest when he was outside taking his time to sniff and explore. Like many dogs, the shelter environment seems overwhelming, but he relaxed once he got outdoors.

He doesn’t need a perfect home today—he just needs someone willing to foster so a rescue can pull him to safety.

🏡 Can you foster through a rescue?
📲 Please message me or @alyhagan immediately if you can help.
❤️ If you can’t foster, sharing this post could help save Wayne’s life.

Butterbean is SAFE! 
Thank you for sharing his story! ❤️👏🏻

BUTTERBEAN (A1265131) 🚨 DEADLINE 6/17 🚨

This giant-headed goofball is running out of time.

Outside of the shelter he’s affectionate, photogenic, knows sit, takes treats nicely, appears dog-friendly, and may even be potty trained.

His biggest challenge right now? Shelter stress and a complete lack of personal boundaries. 😅

Butterbean needs a foster or rescue to give him the chance he deserves. 🩶

📍Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control
🏡 Can be fostered through the shelter
⏰ Deadline: 6/17

Message me if you can foster him!
