CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - If you want a meaningful Christmas gift, consider giving the gift of a pet. Working with the local shelter to foster or adopt a dog or cat can change a life, and it’s especially important during the holidays when more animals need loving homes.
Shelters are closed over the holidays, so making space by fostering or adopting can be a huge help. If you have a relaxed holiday schedule, consider a “staycation” with a foster dog to see how they fit into your routine.
