Clear the Shelters Adoption Drive July 23

In the U.S. July is traditionally the warmest month in the calendar year, and one Saturday this July may just go down in the record books as the most warm-hearted day of the year as thousands of dogs and cats from coast to coast find forever families to love during the Clear the Shelters pet adoption drive.

In partnership with NBC owned TV stations and the Telemundo Station Group, on July 23, 2016 over 400 animal shelters in 20 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico will take part in the initiative, which features low-cost and fee-waived pet adoptions.

Celebrating its second year in 2016, all involved hope to meet or surpass the success of the initial event, which saw a total of 19,685 of our tail-wagging chums find loving homes.

How to Adopt on Clear the Shelters Day

Potential pet parents can find a participating shelter in their area on a Clear the Shelters' online map. Simply click on the dots which indicate the location of a shelter that is taking part in the event to find out that facility's address, phone number, hours of operation and website address.

As added treats, you can also follow the number of pets who find homes on the day in real time thanks to a counter on the Clear the Shelters' website.

Also on July 29th, celebrate the adoption of thousands of homeless dogs and cats by tuning in to a half-hour adoption drive wrap up special presented by soon-to-be host of Access Hollywood, Natalie Morales of TODAY fame.
