Matthews, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Boo from an out of state hunting breeder. She had failed out of hunting school and they were looking for someone to take her. She had only ever been in a kennel and had received some limited training. She has been with us for about 3 months and has done well. She was initially incredibly timid and had never been in a home, but she has increased in confidence, although she is still timid. She is indifferent to our cats and chickens and gets on well with our kids. She loves to play and chase and would benefit from a home where she can interact a lot with her owner. She is crate trained and mostly house-broken, but we still limit her area in the house.

If you’re active, dog-savvy, and looking for a brilliant, devoted companion who’s ready to learn and love hard, Spencer might just be your perfect match. if you are interested in Spencer, please complete a foster or adoption application at lastdaydogs.com    January 8, 2026, 9:20 am

Whittaker

Labrador Retriever Poodle (Standard)

Male, Adult
Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Whittaker  This handsome boy has been let down too many times, and we are determined that it never happens again. His next family must be in it for the long haul—a forever home he truly deserves. Please only apply if you are fully committed to Whittaker for life and meet the following requirements: --  A securely fenced yard --  Another dog in the home (not fragile or geriatric) --  No cats (his response to cats is unknown) --  No young children he could easily knock over; children must be respectful --  No babies or young children planned for the foreseeable future   To be absolutely clear—Whittaker is a  wonderful  dog. He is thriving and deeply loved in his current multi-dog foster home (6+ dogs), where he also lives successfully with children. His foster environment provides consistent structure, leadership, and management, which allows Whittaker to shine.   He's about two years old and is crate trained, housebroken, walks well on leash, and rides beautifully in the car. Whittaker is affectionate, loving, and enjoys being part of a pack. At 65 pounds, he is also a big dog, and big dogs come with big responsibilities—including regular grooming and the financial commitment that comes with it ($). Whittaker deserves a home that has thoughtfully considered the realities of large-dog ownership and is fully prepared to offer him stability, love, and a truly permanent forever home. If you are interested in adopting Whittaker, 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. **  February 10, 2026, 11:56 am

Labrador Retriever Hound (Unknown Type)

Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Patrisha is a 1-year-old Hound/Labrador Retriever mix who’s equal parts playful and cuddly. She loves zooming around the backyard, throwing her toys to herself and then settling in for night time cuddles.  She’s a gentle, sweet girl who’s great with kids. She has a charming, classic hound howl when she is excited to see you. She would thrive in a house with an active family, or big backyard to meet her energy needs. She loves to play with other dogs. Patrisha is spayed. She is learning quickly as she works on leash skills. She has already mastered sit and come and is working on down and stay. She is crate and house trained.   Her nosey hound nature means that Patrisha needs a cat and bird-free home.  If you’re looking for a loving young dog who will grow with you—and happily share your couch—Patrisha could be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting Patrisha, please submit an inquiry directly with 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 meet/pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt.***  January 28, 2026, 5:51 pm

Labrador Retriever Poodle (Miniature)

Female, Young
Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Frizzy!  Frizzy is an adorable 8-month-old doodle mix (Labrador Retriever/Poodle) puppy with a gorgeous tan and black coat. Fizzy has a big, playful personality to match. She weighs about 57 lbs and is still very much a puppy—curious, sweet, and learning the ropes. Frizzy is house trained and does well in a crate, though she may be a little nervous at first and just needs some gentle reassurance. She’s currently working on her puppy manners (like remembering not to snag snacks off the counter), but she’s eager to learn and responds well to guidance. She’s great with kids and other dogs. She absolutely loves playing with her toys. Frizzy would do best in a home ready to continue her training, give her structure, and plenty of love. If you’re looking for a friendly, fun-loving pup who will grow into a wonderful companion, Frizzy might be your girl.  If you are interested in adopting Frizzy, 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.
