Clear The Shelters: A Nationwide Effort in Pet Adoption
Every year, the “Clear The Shelters” campaign brings together communities across the nation in a unified effort to find loving homes for pets in need. Since its inception in 2015, this initiative has facilitated over 1.3 million adoptions and has garnered $5.6 million in donations, proving its significance in the realm of animal welfare.
Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) is proudly participating in NBCUniversal Local’s 12th annual pet adoption and donation project, Clear The Shelters, presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition. This annual event occurs from August 1 to 31, with additional fundraising efforts continuing until September 15.
NBC and Telemundo affiliates collaborate with local animal shelters and rescues during this campaign to promote pet adoptions and generate funds to support animal welfare undertakings. As part of this initiative, MCACC will offer waived adoption fees for large and senior dogs throughout the month, thanks to Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s sponsorship. More details can be found at Maricopa.gov/Pets.
“We’re thrilled and grateful to once again join forces with NBCUniversal and Telemundo for this year’s ‘Clear The Shelters’ campaign,” expressed Kim Powell, Communications Supervisor at MCACC. “The summer tends to be our busiest time, and we’re confident that this event will make a meaningful difference by helping many of our dogs find the loving homes they deserve.”
Greater Good Charities continues to spearhead the fundraising aspects of the campaign, a consistent partner in these efforts. From now through September 15, donations can be made to the general fund, while contributions to specific shelters are welcome from August 1 to 31 via ClearTheSheltersFund.org.
The WeRescue app, marking its eighth year as Clear The Shelters’ exclusive technology partner, offers users a convenient way to browse adoptable pets by breed, size, and more. This year, an added feature called Scout helps users find their ideal pet match quickly.
Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a leader in science-based pet nutrition, plays a pivotal role as the campaign’s national sponsor for the ninth year running. This year, they step up as the presenting sponsor, further solidifying their commitment to animal welfare.
