Charlotte, NC, December 11, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association has announced that it has awarded a $2,500 Animal Welfare Grant to The Animal Care & Control Shelter with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to help replace the facility's fencing. Animal Welfare grants are given to public and private shelters needing financial assistance for supplies or for improvements to animal housing facilities. So far in 2013, the NCVMA has granted $14,400 to shelters across North Carolina.
The Animal Care & Control Division of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is committed to protecting the safety of citizens and animals within the community. The 45,000 square foot facility holds approximately 165 dog runs, 220 stainless steel kennels and provides an area for the Gary T. DeLisser Spay/Neuter Clinic operated by the Humane Society of Charlotte. The organization works to create partnerships within the community in order to promote responsible pet ownership, decrease the overpopulation of domestic pets through spay-neuter programs, and to place adoptable animals in good homes.
