NBC and Telemundo owned stations are teaming up with hundreds of shelters and rescue organizations across the country to host Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption drive on Saturday, August 17 to help find loving homes for animals in need. More than 250,000 pets have found their forever homes since 2015.
The Humane Society of Loudoun County will participate in this annual event by holding an adoption event at the Leesburg PetSmart from 11:00 to 2:00 on the 17th. We will be waiving all adoption fees for the event but need sponsors to help make that possible. Sponsorships will help cover the higher than normal medical expenses we have faced due to an influx of homeless animals this year.
Current adoption fees are $150 for cats and $300 for dogs. If you are able to sponsor or co-sponsor an animal, please:
- Visit the adoptable animals on our website.
- Choose the animal you would like to sponsor or co-sponsor.
- Make a donation and, in the dedication section, let us know which animal you are sponsoring. If you prefer not to choose, just type “CTS adoption event”.
NOTE: If you are donating from a mobile device, there is no dedication field. Simply email anne@humaneloudoun.org and let her know how you would like your donation designated.
Sponsoring adoption fees will help increase our adoption rate. This, in turn, will free up our fosters so we can save more animals.
We’re off to a good start with Newk’s Eatery sponsoring three of our homeless animals for the Clear the Shelters event. Please join them and sponsor or co-sponsor an animal today!
