It’s Clear The Shelters Time!
August is here, and with it comes one of the most exciting times of the year for animal welfare: Clear The Shelters!
This nationwide initiative shines a bright spotlight on the importance of pet adoption and the incredible, life-saving work that shelters like the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society do every single day. As part of the initiative, NBC- and Telemundo-owned and affiliated stations partner with animal shelters and rescues in communities across the U.S. to promote pet adoption and raise funds for participating shelters.
Since its 2015 inception, Clear The Shelters has led to nearly 1.2 million pet adoptions and raised more than $5 million. Longtime campaign supporters include Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a national sponsor for eight consecutive years, Greater Good Charities and WeRescue. Celear The Shelters was inspired by a 2014 North Texas pet adoption event hosted by NBC 5 / KXAS and Telemundo 39 / KXTX.
Clear The Shelters is about more than just finding a home for one pet; it’s about the positive impact a single adoption has on our entire shelter. When one animal finds a loving family, it frees up space for us to help another pet in need. Your choice to adopt helps us continue our mission and save more lives.
This month, we’ll be featuring some of our long-term residents and senior pets who deserve a second chance at happiness. While we’ll be highlighting their stories on our social media, you can always view our full lineup of available pets by visiting our website.
