Are you ready to welcome a new furry family member into your home?
This August, the NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 Clear the Shelters™ campaign is offering a fantastic opportunity for pet lovers looking to adopt.
From August 1 to August 31, many participating shelters will waive adoption fees, making it a perfect time to find a loving companion.
However, adopters should note that other fees may still apply, so it’s important to check with local shelters for detailed fee policies.
This special adoption event is essential as many shelters are currently experiencing a summer influx of animals needing homes.
By choosing to adopt, you can make a significant difference in the life of a pet in need.
Over the years, Clear the Shelters has achieved remarkable milestones, with more than 75,000 pets finding their forever homes in North Texas alone, and over 1.2 million animals adopted nationwide.
Every adoption truly matters, as it represents a life saved.
To be eligible to adopt, individuals must be at least 18 years old and bring a current, valid Driver’s License or State ID.
If your ID does not have your current address, please bring proof of residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement, to ensure a smooth adoption process.
For more details on the Clear the Shelters event, visit www.cleartheshelters.com.
This initiative, led by NBC 5 and Telemundo 39, aims to connect loving families with pets needing homes.
A comprehensive list of participating shelters is provided below, organized alphabetically by city to assist potential adopters in finding local options.
