The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care & Control (DACC) is pleased to join NBC4 and Telemundo 52\u2019s annual month-long Clear the Shelters\u2122 pet adoption and donation campaign for the ninth consecutive year. This year this event will take place from August 1- 31st, 2023. During this time, adoption fees at DACC\u2019s seven animal care centers will be reduced to $20 for all dogs and cats. Fees include adoption, spay\/neuter, vaccinations, and microchips. Pet licenses and spay\/neuter deposits (if necessary) are not included in the promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cClear the Shelters has become the premier adoption event for DACC and animal shelters across the nation.,\u201d said DACC Director Marcia Mayeda. \u201cWe are grateful to NBC4 and Telemundo 52 for their compassion and leadership in raising awareness to get more animals into loving homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Information on all pets available for adoption, as well as the locations of all DACC animal care centers, is available online at\u00a0animalcare.lacounty.gov.<\/a><\/p>\n Since its 2015 inception, Clear the Shelters has helped more than 860,000 pets\u202ffind new homes. The 2022 campaign established a new single-year record with more than 161,000 adoptions, while also raising more than $540,000. Nearly 1,400 animal shelters and rescues covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam participated in last year\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud that Clear the Shelters supports the many outstanding shelters and rescues in our communities that perform the vital work of caring for vulnerable animals, so we are very excited for the campaign\u2019s return this August to help them find new homes for animals in need and raise more money to fund their efforts,\u201d said Meredith McGinn, NBCUniversal Local\u2019s Executive Vice President of Diginets & Original Production. \u201cWe are so thankful for our many generous supporters and partners, including our employees, participating shelters, affiliate stations and Hill\u2019s Pet Nutrition, who enable Clear the Shelters to make such a meaningful impact each year.\u201d<\/p>\n For those who cannot adopt but are still interested in participating in the campaign, the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation accepts donations to enhance the care and outcomes for animals in County-operated care centers. All donations are tax deductible and support programs like spay\/neuter services, medical care, behavior and enrichment, and grooming for care center animals, Care vouchers to help pets stay with their families, and disaster response for animals in danger, among others.
