Notable Names: Special Pet Edition

By Ryan Kouame

We’re featuring these furry friends available for adoption at the Humane Society of Charlotte in this issue. The adoption process at the Humane Society of Charlotte is easy — all you’ll need is a love for animals, a valid form of identification and a valid form of payment. Adoption fees range based on age, size and breed. Active military service members, veterans and their families, and seniors 65 and over get 10 percent off all adoptions and services. Here are a few cuties who are up for adoption:

AUGUST RUSH

August Rush is a friendly 3-yearold domestic shorthair mix that loves being around people. She’s very affectionate with visitors and always scrubs against them for chin rubs. August Rush has tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus which means that she may be more susceptible to diseases that a healthier cat can fight off. The shelter isn’t sure how long she’s had the virus so she should be kept indoors, receive regular check-ups, and retested around six months. ENVY

Envy is a 2-year-old pit bull with piercing blue eyes that will make your heart melt when you look into them. She’s loving to every person she encounters and truly has a zest for life. Envy loves to run around, romp, wrestle, and interact with other dogs, but has a very high-contact play style that some dogs may not like. She has been diagnosed with a heart condition that will need regular, lifelong treatment to keep her healthy.

ZION

Zion is an 8-year-old male Terrier/American pit bull mix and the biggest goofball you’ll ever meet. He’s a sweet, happy-golucky gentleman who shows his affection through hugs and kisses. Zion is house-trained and came from a home where he previously lived with cats. THE DUKE

The Duke is truly special, handsome, and royal. He is a 7-year-old domestic longhair mix who enjoys doing his own thing. The Duke is your guy if you’re looking for a sassy, chill guy to hang out with. He loves having plenty of room and isn’t the biggest fan of other animals. He doesn’t care for grooming despite his regal nature but will adjust if you take your time with him.
