Animal Care & Control Volunteers working the counter at the 7th Annual Animal Kneads Day.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Animal Care & Control is proud to share the success of the Great Harvest Bread Company’s 7th Annual Animal Kneads Day Fundraiser. Nearly $17,123.00 was raised to support the Animal Care & Control’s Public Spay & Neuter clinics which provides free spay/neuter surgeries to Mecklenburg County pet owners who are in need of assistance with having their pets sterilized. Many thanks to Jeff and Janet Ganoung, owners of the Great Harvest, and their staff for making Animal Kneads Day possible. Thanks to Julene Kautzman, owner of Zoom Room, and her staff for hosting the Celebrity Bake-Off and special thanks to Judy Clark for all of her work on both events.
Black Dog Second Chance Rescue from Amherst, New York transferred 29 animals from Animal Care & Control to their organization. This group transported the animals back to New York and will seek permanent homes for them. Thank you Black Dog Second Chance!
