South Charlotte Dog Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit, no-kill, volunteer dog rescue organization serving the South Charlotte, NC area. We are passionate about rescuing dogs in need and providing the opportunity for a happy and fulfilling life!

SCDR places dogs in loving, responsible, committed, permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.

Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.

We are determined to keep administrative expenses extremely low so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the animals. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process.  Our volunteers are also committed to educating the community about the importance of spaying, neutering and animal welfare to ensure a better life for all animals.

Finally, we strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.
