CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A lot of people are animal lovers and pet owners. That means occasional trips to the vet. Sometimes those appointments can be quite expensive. So what if you live on a limited income or you’re in a financial crisis?
There is an amazing non-profit organization in the Charlotte area that realized high-quality veterinary care and spay/neuter services can be affordable and accessible to everyone. Their name is very apropos---Stand For Animals.
Cary Bernstein is the founder and executive director. She says that as a nonprofit, Stand For Animals offers vet care that’s less expensive. Because they want the best care to be accessible, they offer no-interest payment plans.
Stand For Animals operates three clinics in the area: Charlotte, Pineville, and Lake Norman. All to ensure the greatest access to spay/neuter services and veterinary care.

Bernstein says, “Our mission is twofold – to offer the best pet care for your companion animal and to reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized in regional shelters by making spay/neuter services available at an affordable price.”
What began as a five-person team has grown to a 55-member team working across the three different clinics, with a total focus on animal welfare.
Bernstein says they offer high-quality spay/neuter services, affordable vet care, sick visits, x-rays and ultrasounds, and prescription medication.
