Clear the Shelters 2019

Clear the Shelters 2019

On August 17, be an adoption superhero by joining the AWLA, in coordination with NBC4 and Telemundo 44, to Clear the Shelters.  In an effort to find more homes for shelter animals across the country, adoption fees will be waived for ALL adoptable animals at the AWLA during this epic, nationwide adoption event.  The AWLA will open its doors an hour early, at 11 a.m., to accommodate the additional visitors who are racing faster than a speeding bullet to meet their new furry friends.

To make the event fun for the whole family, the AWLA will be hosting a tent with activities for superheroes of all ages, as well as a yard sale with discounted pet supplies, a bake sale with sweet treats and more.  Donations from these events will benefit the shelter. And all participants are invited to don their best superhero gear as they visit the AWLA to meet their new best friend. Attendees should note that the waiting line for the event will be outdoors and to plan accordingly.

You don’t need to have superpowers to help a homeless animal; just join us on August 17 to help Clear Our Shelter!

Can’t adopt but still want to be a hero?  Learn about how you can Clear It Forward.
