Season of Second Chances Adoption Event 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control x 704 Shop: A Partnership for Second Chances. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control has partnered with 704 Shop, Charlotte’s iconic apparel store, to create a limited-edition t-shirt highlighting the importance of adopting from shelters. Because 704 Shop is committed to giving animals a second chance, they have agreed to donate a portion of proceeds to our shelter programs. As Mecklenburg counties primary shelter, we care for thousands of animals each year while providing essential community services. Together with 704 Shop, we’re spreading the message that every shelter pet deserves a second chance. For every shirt purchased, 704 Shop will donate $7.04 to ACC in honor of Charlotte's 704 area code.

The drop is coming soon—mark your calendars for December 6th and get ready for the big reveal!
