Adopt-A-Dog to Participate in All Day “Clear the Shelters” Event

Clear the Shelters is coming back for its second year on Saturday, July 23.

Last year 21 dogs were adopted from Adopt-A-Dog during the first Clear the Shelters event.

Clear the Shelters is a nationwide adoption event where adoption fees are discounted or waived for the day to help end pet homelessness.

Clear the Shelters is an amazing event that was started when NBC 4 New York / WNBC and Telemundo 47 / WNJU partnered up together for to find homeless pets forever homes.
