Family Humane Hangout

Play, Create, and Make a Difference Together at The Humane Society of Charlotte!

At Family Humane Hangout, begin with an introduction to the work happening at HSC, then step into it as you explore hands-on stations where you can play, create, and take part in experiences that make a difference here and in the community. Along the way, you may even catch a glimpse of some of our adoptable animals. It’s a chance to have fun, learn something new, and leave feeling connected to the impact your family can make together.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Family Humane Hangout is designed for families of all kinds. Children are welcome to attend with a parent, grandparent, or other caregiver. To ensure a safe and supportive environment, at least one adult must be present with their child(ren) at all times.

Please register each child who will be attending and list the adults who will be attending when prompted during checkout.

We strive to have an animal ambassador at each session. Animal ambassadors are volunteer-owned dogs who are known to be comfortable around groups of people and have completed a behavior assessment with a certified trainer. Because these experiences rely on volunteer availability, an animal interaction cannot be guaranteed.

Family Humane Hangout will consist of 3 parts:
1. A brief overview of HSC
2. Stations to play, learn, and create together
3. Visit our adoptable animals and if a volunteer is available, meet with an animal ambassador (a volunteer’s pet who has passed a behavior assessment and approved for interaction with groups of children and adults)

Refunds are available up to 3 days before the program date for any cancellations. Within 3 days of the program, we cannot offer refunds or change your registration to another date. It will be considered a donation to HSC. 

Your registration fee covers program supplies and staffing while also supporting the animals in our care.
