This is the ninth consecutive year NBC and Telemundo-owned stations are partnering with affiliate stations, animal shelters and rescues to promote pet adoption and raise funds for animal welfare. Since its inception in 2015, Clear The Shelters has helped more than 860,000 pets find new homes.
"We emptied our shelter completely in 2020 and would love to do that again, that's why we are participating in every adoption event that we can," said Randy Lambert, SRCAs Chief. "We are hoping to the community takes advantage of the waived fees and finds a new furry family member."
SRCAS has been at or above capacity for the entirety of 2023, this national trend of overcrowded shelters has been an ongoing issue. Partnerships with organizations, like NBCUniversal Local, to provide reduced or waived adoption fees can help shelters find more forever homes for the community's most vulnerable animals. Consider adopting pets from the local shelter.
The 2023 Clear The Shelters will again feature online donations through Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit and longtime campaign partner, which will host the fundraising campaign, built courtesy of Fundraise Up, an online donation platform that helps nonprofits grow revenue. Donors have the option to cover transaction fees with their donation so that 100% goes directly to the shelter or rescue of their choice. Online donations can be made during the campaign at ClearTheSheltersFund.org.
