August Is Clear The Shelters Month In Charlotte

AUGUST IS CLEAR THE SHELTERS MONTH IN CHARLOTTE…

… AND IN 2024, SO IS SEPTEMBER! 

 

Charlotte Clear The Shelters Month 2023

Clear The Shelters™ Month is observing its 10th anniversary in 2024 and in honor of this milestone, the Clear The Shelters™ Month fund raising and adoption initiative has been extended through September 30th. You can help to clear Charlotte’s pet shelters and save a life this month, next month, and, for that matter, any month.

 

August 2024 Clear The Shelters™ Month, sponsored by NBC Universal Local, in cities around the country. Clear the Shelters™ is a nationwide pet adoption initiative whose purpose is to find fur-ever homes for homeless pets. Since 2015, the Clear The Shelters™ adoption campaign has helped more than 1 million pets find loving homes.

 

Animal shelters typically become overcrowded in the summer months because of spring litters. This month, help find fur-ever homes for Charlotte’s homeless pet population. Many shelters have agreed to waive or reduce adoption fees on Clear The Shelters Month. All pets available for adoption have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. 

 

The Humane Society of Charlotte has joined this effort to help as many animals as possible find their fur-ever homes during Clear The Shelters Month™. During Clear The Shelters™ Month, the Humane Society of Charlotte is offering the following adoption incentives:

 

$50 off adoption fees for select adult dogs

BOGO $50 off adoption fees for kittens

Fee-waived adoptions for adult cats

Save A Life! Adopt A Shelter Pet

Did you know that homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1? Roughly, 70 million cats are homeless in the United States. Only 10% of dogs born will find a permanent home. Around 3.9 million dogs are abandoned or given up to shelters each year. In 2023, the Clear The Shelters™ initiative realized 157,000 pet adoptions.  Why not help increase the number in 2023? Please adopt! Don’t shop!
