What we’re about

Does your dog like long walks on shaded paths with fresh sniffs and new friends all around? 🦮 Then join us the third Saturday of each month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. to explore some of Charlotte’s prettiest parks and nature preserves.

All walks are guided by Chad Moore, an outdoor specialist with Mecklenburg County Parks & Recreation. Each month, Chad is joined by volunteers from Friends of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Services (CMAS) who can answer questions about how to donate, foster, adopt or volunteer to help Charlotte’s shelter animals.

ABOUT FRIENDS OF CMAS
We’re an all-volunteer nonprofit that supports CMPD Animal Care & Control in its mission to save the lives of Charlotte pets in need. That means we:⁠

  • Raise money, supplies and in-kind donations⁠
  • Host and join events that support the shelter⁠
  • Promote foster and volunteer programs⁠
  • Educate Charlotte on shelter services⁠
