NBC6 and Telemundo 51 are happy to announce Clear the Shelters, our adopt and donate campaign is back for its tenth consecutive year. Animal shelters in South Florida and across the country are once again teaming up with NBC and Telemundo stations to find loving homes for pets in need through our Clear The Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign. The stations’ month-long “Adopt & Donate” effort runs from August 10 through September 10, 2024.
Since its inception in 2015, NBC6 and Telemundo 51’s local Clear The Shelters campaigns have helped thousands of pets find new homes. Nationally, more than one million pets have been adopted over nine Clear The Shelters campaigns.

Virtual pet adoptions are also returning for the sixth consecutive campaign through WeRescue. The WeRescue app enables users to browse adoptable pets in their area by breed, gender, size and other factors, submit their adoption applications and ask questions directly to shelters through the app.
Clear The Shelters was inspired by a 2014 North Texas pet adoption event hosted by NBC 5/KXAS and Telemundo 39/KXTX and dozens of area shelters that resulted in the most adopted pets in one day for North Texas.
