Story
This very sweet 2 year old husky mix will steal your heart with one look into his eyes.  Lovo has lived his 2 short years outside and it shows, but we are healing his body and soul one belly rub at a time. He currently weighs 67 pounds, but should weigh about 75 pounds. He loves to eat so it should not take long to reach his goal weight. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Lovo is learning that crates aren’t so bad and that singing is only for special occasions. He’s been kept on a schedule and has had no accidents (so far) in his foster home. He loves other dogs and would love to have one to play with between belly rubs.   If you are interested in adopting Lovo, 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. **  January 11, 2026, 12:55 pm

He loves belly rubs and treats, so much so that the minute he makes eye contact with you, he’ll instantly roll over to show you that famous golden Pooh Bear Belly. He’s a very quick learner, mostly because he’s SUPER eager to get that treat.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Wes is a sweet, affectionate, and loyal boy with incredibly soft fur and a big love for his people. He enjoys walks, hikes, and short runs, but his favorite thing is being close to his humans—cuddling on the couch or hanging out nearby. He’s crate trained, house trained, and walks beautifully on leash. Wes is very smart and loves learning. He knows basic commands, enjoys puzzle toys, and needs regular mental and physical exercise. He’s gentle and loving with adults and older children and adores stuffed animals. Wes can be reactive to other dogs on walks and may bark or lunge, but does well with distance and treats. He needs a dog-experienced home, ideally with a yard. He does best with large dogs only and should not live with small dogs, cats, or small children. He’s healthy, fully vaccinated, and has no medical issues. Wes is looking for a committed, active home with the time and attention he deserves

Story
Scooter is a very sweet boy, good with children and cats. He does not react to deer, golf carts, walkers, bikers, or small dogs when out walking, but does show reactivity with large dogs by barking and pulling. In the home, he is so lovely, calm, and friendly. He is a very laid back and relaxed dog. He is extremely responsive with treats on walks and his reactivity is easily managed with the use of food rewards. He still needs a bit of distance from larger dogs (20-30 feet) to be able to stay calm, but has done really well when this strategy is used. He has worked with a trainer and would benefit continuation to build social confidence. Scooter becomes very attached to his family. He loves with his whole heart! He has done fine with little dogs. Scooter would love a foster family, foster to adopt or a forever home. If interested, you can complete our application at safeanimalhaven.orgNovember 5, 2024, 12:12 am
