Become a Vendor
We’re looking for local businesses, artists, makers, and pet-focused organizations to join us as vendors at this year’s Launch Paw-ty.
It’s a great opportunity to connect with thousands of animal lovers while supporting the Humane Society of Charlotte’s mission to strengthen the bond between people and pets.

Poured with Purpose
Poured with Purpose is NoDa Brewing’s charity program designed to make a financial impact to non-profits in our area. For every pint ordered in NoDa’s taproom on Tuesdays you’ll receive a $1 token to use on their Impact Wall, supporting one of four charities, one being HSC! Simply drop your token into HSC’s container, and at the end of the year, HSC will receive all of the collected donations. An additional match from NoDa Brewing Co will be given to the charity with the most donations at the end of the year of up to $500.
Reserve Your 2027 Rescue Brew Calendar
Our Rescue Brew Calendar features all of this year’s photo contest participants, including the winning pets and finalists.
Pre-ordering helps us determine how many calendars to print, reducing waste and ensuring every purchase supports our mission. Calendars will also be available at the Launch Paw-ty and in HSC’s Retail Center.
About HSC
At the Humane Society of Charlotte, we believe that by working to improve animal welfare, we’re not only saving the lives of animals who need our help, but are also building a better community by creating families with healthy, happy pets, educating pet owners and ensuring the safety and well-being of both two-legged and four-legged Charlotteans.
We’ve been here in Charlotte since 1978, and we know firsthand how much this community can do when we work together. Whether you’re looking for a new family member, want to work or volunteer with us, need help with training or medical care for your pet – we’re here for you!
The funds raised via the Rescue Brew photo contest will support the Humane Society of Charlotte and the people and pets in our community.
