Story
Meet River! Born around November 2024, River is a Shepherd mix with a striking brindle coat and a personality that’s just as endearing. This sweet, playful boy is a true love bug with a goofy sense of humor and a happy outlook on life. He brings warmth, charm, and a whole lot of heart wherever he goes. River is still very much a pup at heart and loves spending time with other dogs, especially pups and playful companions who are up for a good time. He enjoys engaging, social play and is always happy to join in the fun. After a full day of play and adventures, River is more than ready to trade playtime for downtime — he’ll happily climb into your lap for cuddle time and settle in beside you for some quality couch time and binge-watching your favorite shows. River walks nicely on leash and truly enjoys his daily walks with his foster mom and foster siblings. He loves taking in new sights and smells and being part of a shared routine. He also enjoys toys, Kongs, and relaxed outdoor time. This handsome boy is very treat-motivated and enjoys learning. He knows his basic commands and would do well in a home that wants to continue building on his training in a positive, engaging way. He’s eager to please and loves showing off what he knows — a big reason he’s such a favorite among our rescue team. River is house trained, crate trained, and has good manners in the home. River is ready to find a home where he can continue to thrive, feel loved, and truly shine. River is neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. To meet River, please contact adopt@carolinapaws.com

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
