It’s coming…the annual event known as Clear the Shelters Day is happening this Saturday, August 19th at animal shelters around the U.S. Clear the Shelters is an event sponsored by local NBC and Telemundo television stations around the country to encourage shelter pet adoptions. Many shelters will waive adoption fees on Saturday, so it’s the perfect time to open your heart to a shelter pet in need of a loving forever home.
Check out this map on the Clear the Shelters website to find a participating shelter in your community. And here’s a cute video from sponsor VIP Pet Care to get you in the mood!

This is a neat program! I just checked the map and was disappointed to see that our local Humane Society is NOT participating.
That’s too bad, but they still have lots of adoptable animals, we’re sure!
They do and I am NOT in the market for another. I just know that they are overwhelmed with the number of animals they have. You would think they would participate in programs like this that might help get some of them adopted.
Yes, something like this event might make the difference to someone who was on the fence. Adoption fees for puppies and kittens can be as high as $75 in some cases.
Thank you for sharing! I will make a post on my platforms as well!
That’s awesome, thank you so much! ❤
Hope it went well 💕
It’s coming this Saturday! 😉 Last year’s event was very successful!
Lol…It’s been one of those weeks and I got completely muddled with dates! 😸
🙂
I truly hope they make a huge dent in the shelter population this day. I will have to stay home, otherwise forever be known as that crazy dog lady because I’d want to rescue them all! ❤︎
Haha…yes, I saw a shelter worker promoting the event on the news while she was holding a bunny and found myself thinking about how great it would be to adopt one!

LOL, there was a cat boarding place in Denver that put a gerbil (in a cage of course!) in the room with our cats for entertainment. One of my cats would sit there and stare at “Harry” like it was the most fascinating thing ever!
I’m sure it was quite entertaining. Elsa seems fascinating by butterflies on our walks.
Aww, cute!!
It’s pretty endearing, but I hope she doesn’t start doing that with the bees that are out drinking up all the pollen on all the Russian Sage blooming now. That could be trouble. 🐝
Haha…well, there’s that! 😉
Pets tracking buzzing insects are a potential recipe for disaster.
