Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control

A dog that attacked two goats in a Charlotte backyard escaped from a foster home, raising concerns about animal safety. The owner surrendered the husky after the attack, but it later fled, prompting a search. The victim, Isra Mohamed, faces financial and emotional strain from veterinary costs and fears the dog could attack again.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control is seeking adoptive homes, foster care, or short-term placements for dogs at its Toomey Avenue facility ahead of a temporary five-week closure for kennel renovations. The renovations, required for state relicensing, will reduce available kennel space by 33 units, necessitating the relocation of remaining dogs to another shelter.
