On Saturday, August 15 dozens of shelters throughout the region are teaming up to help find animals permanent loving homes in support of an initiative known as Clear the Shelters Day.
Nearly 30 area animal shelters will take part in the initiative by waiving adoption fees. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to help as many animals as possible find their perfect match.
Surprisingly, only about 20 percent of people adopting a pet choose a shelter animal. No shelter wants to see any animals caged. Finding these pets quality homes is even more critical during the summer after the populations at shelters swell due to abandoned and surrendered pets following spring births.
Dozens of area shelters have already committed to taking part in NBC10 and Telemundo 62’s
