1. Oyster
Meet Oyster, a 3-year old, 44 pound, beagle and basset hound mix with a sweet, easygoing personality! This delightful boy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves nothing more than exploring the backyard or taking a pleasant neighborhood walk. Once his outdoor adventures are complete, Oyster’s favorite place to be is curled up on the couch right beside his foster mom, soaking up all the pets and affection he can get. Being both house and crate trained, he is a well-mannered companion who will make an effortless and seamless addition to a loving household. Oyster is a total gentleman in public and has done great around children. In his foster home, he finds chasing the resident cat to be a fun game, so he will do best in a home with no cats. If you are searching for a chill, friendly, and affectionate guy to complete your family, look no further than Oyster!

2. Olive
Olive is estimated to be around ten months old and she’s around 45 lbs. We believe she is smaller plott hound mix. She had a beautiful brindle coat and a very sweet personality. She is shy but opens up as she spends time with her foster family. Olive opens up even more when she’s out in the l yard with other dogs. She’s learning about the joy of toys and favors her Halloween lamp chop stuffy. She currently lives with two dogs and two cats and does a great job respecting the cat’s boundaries and has shown no signs of following or chasing them. She does great in her crate and will go in there to nap on her own. She is house trained and rides well in the car but she is still working on walking on a leash. Olive loves to be with her people and snuggle on the couch. When she ventures outside she likes to run in the yard and enjoy the sunshine. Olive would make a great companion for another dog who could show her confidence but she would also love being the only pet and getting all the attention.

3. Wilbur
Wilbur is a very sweet little boy, who is working on getting his peach fuzz back. He is very smart, though he gets so excited when he's learning new commands and tasks that he sometimes has trouble paying attention. Think a soccer player who runs with his shirt over his head after scoring a goal! He will wag his tail with such ferocity that his entire body curves into a circle in each direction and his tail thwacks his head. He stays close to his handler on walks, is lovely on a leash and is incredibly focused when running. If you want a companion for some miles, this little dude will be a fantastic one! Wonderful with dogs, curious but respectful of cats. We're working on manners with jumping and mouthing, but very treat and toy motivated.

4. Rebecca
Meet Rebecca!
This sweetie is Rebecca, a 6-month-old, 30-pound mix of something — and while we may not know exactly what breeds created this adorable girl, we do know they made one very sweet puppy!
Rebecca absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has done wonderfully with all the people she has met. She’s a social, happy girl who enjoys being part of whatever is going on around her.
Read more about Rebecca
One thing Rebecca has already mastered is her crate! She is very quiet when crated and sleeps through the entire night, which is pretty impressive for a puppy her age. She is still working on house training, but she’s making great progress and just needs a family willing to continue helping her learn.
Rebecca is an active puppy who loves to play and explore, and she is still learning all those important puppy manners. She may not get everything right the first time, but this girl tries so hard and is eager to learn!
If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, dog-friendly puppy who is ready to grow and learn alongside her forever family, Rebecca may be your girl!
If you are interested in adopting Rebecca, 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.

5. Dianne
Meet the Practical Magic Girls!
There’s a little magic brewing at Greater Charlotte SPCA! Meet Dianne, Stockard, and Nicole, three adorable Husky mix sisters who are officially looking for their forever families.
Their mama, Sandra, is a beautiful Siberian Husky who has done an incredible job raising her three girls. Dad, however, has chosen to keep his identity a mystery, so we can't predict exactly how big these girls will be when fully grown or what other breeds might be hiding in their DNA!
Dianne — currently 11 pounds, Stockard — currently 8 pounds and Nicole — currently 10 pounds
Read more about Dianne
These three little witches-in-training are typical happy puppies who are busy playing, exploring, wrestling with one another, and discovering the world around them. Their personalities are still developing, but there is already plenty of sweetness, curiosity, mischief, and puppy magic to go around!
As with any young puppy, their forever families will need to be prepared for everything that comes with raising a puppy, including house training, crate training, socialization, leash training, basic manners, and lots of patience and love.
And the timing couldn't be more perfect...
Dianne, Stockard, and Nicole will be ready to head to their forever homes on November 1st — the day after Halloween!
No midnight margaritas required. Just a family ready for all the fun, training, puppy mischief, and magic that comes with welcoming a new puppy into the family.
If you're looking to add a little four-legged magic to your life, don't wait until Halloween to apply! ✨

8. Sandra
Meet Sandra!
Sandra is a beautiful 2-year-old Siberian Husky who has officially finished her motherhood duties and is ready to find a forever family of her very own!
In early September, Sandra gave birth to three beautiful baby girls and did an amazing job raising them. Now that her puppies are grown and preparing for homes of their own, it’s finally Sandra’s turn to be the one getting all the attention!
Read more about Sandra
Sandra has settled wonderfully into her foster home and is showing everyone what a sweet, playful, and fun girl she really is. She is doing well living with other dogs and loves having the opportunity to play. She has also done great with children she has met at adoption events and enjoys meeting new people.
Sandra is both house trained and crate trained, and at just 2 years old, she still has plenty of playful Husky energy. She would love a family that will include her in their activities, give her opportunities to play and explore, and then let her enjoy being part of the family at the end of the day.
Now that she is recovering from raising her puppies, we expect Sandra's healthy weight to be approximately 50–55 pounds. She will also be spayed as part of her vetting.
Sandra spent the last several months being a wonderful mama. Now she's ready to put motherhood behind her and enjoy being a young, playful dog again!
If you're looking for a beautiful, social, dog-friendly girl with a wonderful temperament and plenty of personality, Sandra may be your perfect match!
If you are interested in adopting Sandra, 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.

9. Pluto
Pluto is a sweet, adorable puppy with a whole lot of love and personality waiting to shine. At approximately 7 months old and around 37 pounds, he is still growing and discovering the world around him.
With his pretty brown fur and irresistibly cute face, Pluto is sure to turn heads, but it’s his playful personality that really makes him special. He loves playing with other dogs and is always happy to discover a fun toy. Having canine friends around is a great way for Pluto to burn some of his puppy energy and build confidence.
Read more about Pluto
Pluto can be a little shy when he first meets someone, but give him a little time and patience, and he warms up quickly. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and playful personality starts to shine. His owner will need to be committed to proper socialization.
He is already crate trained and is doing very well with potty training, showing that he is eager to learn and making great progress with his puppy skills. This being said, he does piddle some when excited.
Pluto is also neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, so he is ready to begin the next chapter of his life with his forever family.
Like any growing rescue puppy, Pluto will need a family who understands that bringing a puppy home is a commitment. He will benefit from continued positive-reinforcement training, regular exercise, socialization, and a consistent daily routine. His new family should be prepared for the joys and challenges of puppyhood and willing to give him the guidance, patience, and structure he needs to grow into a confident, well-mannered adult dog.
