Clear the Shelters
August 10, 2024 - September 10, 2024 | 11:00 am to 7:00 pm
The Animal Foundation is again partnering with Telemundo Las Vegas/KBLR to participate in the nationwide Clear the Shelters pet adoption campaign from Saturday, August 10th - Tuesday, September 10th. During Clear the Shelters, adoption fees will be waived for adult animals in the shelter, six months and older.
To celebrate the culmination of the 10th year of this campaign, we will be waiving adoption fees for ALL pets in the shelter, including puppies and kittens, on Saturday, September 7th!
This is the tenth consecutive year that NBC and Telemundo-owned stations present their popular pet adoption campaign to communities nationwide in partnership with affiliate stations and shelters/rescues. Since 2015, NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters campaign has helped more than one million pets find new homes. Visit ClearTheShelter
How the Adoption Process Works:
- Visit https://animalfoundation.com/adopt-a-pet/adoption-search to browse adoptable animals to have an idea of what you are looking for when you arrive.
- Adoptions take place on a first-come, first-served basis for walk-in traffic, beginning at 11 am each day. Depending on the volume of patrons each day, adoption services may close before 7 PM once our capacity is reached.
- When you arrive, you may browse the adoption area for a pet, or if you have an animal in mind, please note the animal ID# and you'll be able to speak with an adoption counselor.
- Please note, that patrons sometimes line up before we open to meet a pet, especially during adoption events.
- We do not place holds on pets.
- Please do not bring your current pets with you to the shelter. We do not allow in-shelter dog-to-dog introductions. The shelter is a strange and stressful place for most pets and does not provide an accurate indication of how the animals will act in a home environment. The most successful dog-to-dog introductions are properly staged outside the shelter environment. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly introduce your new pet to resident pet(s).
- The fee-waived adoptions include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines for appropriate animals. A $10 license fee may apply.
