Barkin’ Book Club
Discover a welcoming space for reading, community, and awareness at the Humane Society of Charlotte’s Barkin’ Book Club!
These two-session events bring adults together for thoughtful and fun conversations about great books and adorable animals. Learn more about the mission of HSC, see our adoptable animals, and enjoy the company of fellow book and animal lovers. Each gathering offers a calm, comfortable environment to connect with others, build community, and support the animals and families we serve.

FAQ
The fee covers staff time and supports HSC’s mission as a nonprofit organization.
Refunds are available up to 3 days before the program date for any cancellations. Within 3 days of the program, we cannot offer a refund and it will be considered a donation to HSC.
We strive to have an animal ambassador at each session. Animal ambassadors are volunteer-owned dogs who are trained to be comfortable around groups of people and have completed a behavior assessment. Because these experiences rely on volunteer availability, animal interaction cannot be guaranteed.
