How do I adopt a pet during Clear The Shelters in Northeast Ohio?

CLEVELAND – Every year, NBC and Telemundo stations from across the United States partner with animal shelters and rescues for the annual Clear the Shelters campaign.

This year, Clear the Shelters celebrates its tenth anniversary and the campaign runs from August 10 to September 10.

To mark the anniversary, the fundraising campaign will be extended until September 30th.

“Reaching our one millionth adoption ever last year and now celebrating our tenth campaign aren't just milestones. These numbers help quantify the incredible support Clear The Shelters has received from communities across the country and the impact it has on at-risk animals and the shelters that care for them,” said Meredith McGinn, NBCUniversal Local's executive vice president of Diginets & Original Production, in a press release.

Throughout the campaign, 3News will feature live segments featuring Northeast Ohio animal shelters and pets available for adoption.
