Animal Care’s Clear the Shelter campaign places 168 pets into ‘furever’ homes

We are thrilled to share the heartwarming success story of San Bernardino County Animal Care’s participation in the NBCUniversal Local’s Clear the Shelters event. This year’s event proved to be a resounding triumph for animal welfare as 168 pets found their “furever” homes, creating a wave of joy and compassion throughout the community.

At the forefront of this achievement were the devoted staff and volunteers at both the Devore and the Big Bear Animal Shelters. The event kicked off with unparalleled enthusiasm, drawing in families and individuals eager to open their hearts and homes to a new furry friend.

The Devore Animal Shelter, a haven for animals in need, saw an incredible outpouring of support from the community. With 147 pets finding their ‘furever’ families, the atmosphere was charged with happiness and the promise of brighter days for these previously homeless companions. From playful pups to wise senior dogs, the Devore Animal Shelter’s diverse range of pets captured the hearts of adopters, reaffirming the power of adoption in transforming lives.

Meanwhile, at the Big Bear Animal Shelter, 21 lucky pets also embarked on their journey to new beginnings. The scenic surroundings of Big Bear provided the perfect backdrop for families to connect with their new four-legged family members, underscoring the magic of the Clear the Shelters event.

San Bernardino County Animal Care’s commitment to animal welfare was truly exemplified during this event. Their dedication to finding loving homes for these pets extended far beyond the event itself, echoing the sentiment that every pet deserves a chance at happiness and companionship.

The collective efforts of the community, shelter staff, volunteers, and NBCUniversal Local’s Clear the Shelters event have proven once again that when compassion and unity intersect, lives are transformed.

As 168 pets wag their tails and purr in contentment in their new homes, the impact of this event will be felt for years to come. Here’s to a brighter future for both the adopted pets and their loving families, and to the continued commitment of San Bernardino County Animal Care to making heartwarming moments like these possible.
