San Francisco SPCA Joins 10th Annual 'Clear The Shelters' Campaign

 The San Francisco SPCA joins NBC Bay Area, Telemundo 48 and NBC Spots Bay Area/California to participate in the 10th annual Clear The Shelters campaign, a nationwide pet adoption and donation initiative led by NBCUniversal Local.

As part of this milestone campaign, the SF SPCA is offering free adoptions for cats and dogs 5 months and older from August 1 to September 15. Two special events will highlight the initiative: a Community Adoption Event on Saturday, August 17 featuring games, prizes, and photo opportunities, and a Finale Adoption Event on Saturday, September 7 with activities for kids, food, and waived adoption fees.

The 2023 Clear The Shelters campaign led to more than 158,000 adoptions – lifting the all-time adoption total past one million – and raised over $575,000. More than 1,400 shelters and rescues representing 49 states and territories, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam – along with 152 NBC and Telemundo stations – participated in last year's campaign Aug. 1 to 30.
