Please visit Oakland County Animal Shelter & Pet Adoption Center August 10th through September 10th for special gifts and savings when adopting a new furry friend.

Visit ClearTheShelters.com for More Information & ClearTheSheltersFund.org to Donate from Aug. 1st to Sept. 30th 2024. 

The Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center has joined NBCUniversal Local’s 10^th annual Clear The Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign from Aug. 10 to Sept. 10. As part of the nationwide initiative, NBC and Telemundo stations partner with animal shelters and rescues in their communities to promote pet adoption and raise funds for participating shelters and rescues.

Since its inception in 2015, Clear The Shelters has helped more than one million pets find new homes and raised millions of dollars for participating shelters and rescues.

The 2024 Clear The Shelters fundraising effort will again be led by Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit and longtime campaign partner. Donations can be made Aug. 1 to Sept. 30 at ClearTheSheltersFund.org. Through the online platform, built by Fundraise Up, donors have the option to cover transaction fees so that 100 percent of the funds go directly to the shelter or rescue of their choice.

Virtual pet adoptions are also returning for the sixth consecutive campaign through WeRescue. The WeRescue website and app enable 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.
