As part of Clear The Shelters, NBC10 and Telemundo62 are partnering with local animal shelters and rescues to promote pet adoption and raise funds that support animal welfare. For information on participating shelters, visit ClearTheShelters.com.
Since its inception in 2015, NBC10 and Telemundo62’s Clear The Shelters has helped more than 49,000 pets find new homes. Nationally, the initiative has helped nearly 1.2 million pets find new homes and raised more than $5 million for participating shelters and rescues.
“Clear the Shelters is one of our most impactful campaigns, and we’re proud to once again unite with our communities to help give thousands of deserving animals a second chance at life,” said Joel Davis, President and General Manager of NBC10, Telemundo62 and NBC Sports Philadelphia. “We’re proud that NBCU Local Philadelphia can play such an important role in supporting the incredible work of the local shelters and rescues in our region.”
Clear The Shelters fundraising will once again be led by Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit and longtime campaign partner. Donations to the general fund can be made now through Sept. 15, and donations to individual shelters can be made from Aug. 1 to 31 at ClearTheSheltersFund.org.
Virtual pet adoptions return for the seventh consecutive year through WeRescue, which allows website and app users to browse adoptable pets in their area by breed, gender, size and other factors, submit applications, and ask questions directly to shelters. Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a global leader in science-based pet nutrition, is returning as the campaign’s national sponsor for the eighth consecutive campaign.
