Celebrate the tenth annual Clear the Shelters event through the month of August at the Big Bear and Devore animal shelters. Pet adoptions are free, with all pets spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
The Animals aRe First Fund (ARFF) is sponsoring the pet adoption fees for dogs/cats adopted during this monthlong campaign. Throughout the month, NBC and Telemundo stations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico will team up with local animal shelters and rescue services to find loving homes for these adorable, loving animals.
Last year, this heartwarming campaign helped 185 animals at San Bernardino County’s Devore and Big Bear animal shelters find their furever homes. We’re thrilled to see what this year holds!
Adopt a pet and gain a new family member! Give these precious pets a second chance at happiness and a loving home. Clear the Shelters is spreading love and joy, one adoption at a time. Be part of this incredible journey!
Visit ClearTheShelters.com for more information on how you can participate and open your heart to adoption.
For more information about pets available for adoption, please visit San Bernardino County Animal Care at animalcare.sbcounty.gov/pets or call 800-472-5609. To make a donation to assist animals at the shelter, visit arffund.org.
