My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Senior dogs don’t ask for much—just love. And they give everything in return.

Wendi, a nearly 10-year-old Boston Terrier, has been through more than her fair share—but she’s come out the other side stronger, sweeter, and ready for the soft, loving retirement she’s always deserved.

She hasn’t had the easiest life and is still learning what it truly means to feel safe and cherished. Having only lived with women, she is understandably fearful of men and would thrive best in a calm, female-only (or very female-led) home that will move at her pace and let trust grow naturally.

Recently, this brave girl underwent surgeries to repair  both knees —earning her the nickname “bionic girl”—and had a mass removed. The good news? She is recovering beautifully and feeling better each day. Her resilience is matched only by her gentle spirit.

Now, she’s ready to focus on the good things in life such as a quiet companionship, cozy cuddle sessions and a peaceful home where she’s treated like a treasure she is!

She is doing  well with both crate training and house training , and she finds comfort in routine and consistency. She doesn’t need much—just patience, kindness, and someone who understands that senior dogs have the biggest hearts.

If you’re looking to open your home (and your lap) to a deserving senior who will repay you with quiet loyalty and endless snuggles, this sweet Boston girl may be your perfect match.

If you are interested in adopting Wendi, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.  

**Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **

Additional adoption info

After you have found your new best friend, please read our adoption FAQ then submit our online adoption interest form at www.charlottespca.org/adopt

The Greater Charlotte SPCA does not own or operate a shelter facility. Volunteers foster all animals in their homes until adopted. Many of our animals come from high-kill shelters and other rescue situations. We find that fostering gives us the opportunity to assess the animal's personality and needs. This allows us to best match them with the right adoptive family. Also, we are able to provide all care and medical needs for our animals. It enables the animal to develop a happy frame of mind before adoption. We have many wonderful animals looking for a forever home.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events every weekend around the Greater Charlotte area. Check our website www.charlottespca.org for upcoming event details. If you would like to meet a particular animal, please contact us so that we can arrange for the foster to bring the animal to the event.
