From noon to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 24, the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC), a beacon of hope for homeless pets, will take part in the 10th annual Clear the Shelters adoption event. At this moment, the shelter has over 600 animals in their care who need rescuing.
“There is a lot at stake on Aug, 24. In addition to our shelter operating over capacity for nearly two years, our length of stay has skyrocketed, and every day these animals wait is a day too long,” HSHC Community Engagement Manager Lily Darling said. “Just because we don’t give up on these animals, doesn’t mean they don’t give up on themselves. We urgently need the community to step up and give these deserving pets loving homes. Time is running out and they can’t afford to wait any longer.”
Adoptions will be $10 (some exclusions apply) in celebration of Clear the Shelters’ 10th anniversary. All adoptions include a free one-month supply of preventatives, spay/neuter, microchip, one round of age-appropriate vaccinations/deworming, a wellness exam at a participating veterinarian, and a starter bag of food. Additionally, the first 50 attendees will receive a free goodie bag.
