Presented by NBC – on Saturday, August 19th,
2017
For the third consecutive year, VCA Animal Hospitals has teamed
up with NBC for a one-of-a-kind pet adoption initiative – Clear the
Shelters – on Saturday, August 19th. As a featured veterinary
hospital sponsor, VCA’s veterinary healthcare teams will work with
more than 700 shelters across the country. On this day, shelters
will adopt out homeless pets into their forever homes. VCA is
committed to supporting community animal welfare partners so they
can save and enhance the lives of countless disadvantaged dogs,
cats and other pets.
“We are proud to partner with NBC4 again this year, and to help
raise awareness about the benefits of adopting from a local
shelter,” said Art Antin, Chief Operating Officer and Co-founder of
VCA. “Working collaboratively, VCA and the shelters can make a
meaningful, and often lifesaving, difference in the lives of so
many pets. We're looking forward to working together to promote the
health and happiness of pets throughout the country.”
On this day of action, participating animal shelters will offer
reduced adoption fees and open their doors to find new homes for
homeless pets. VCA Animal Hospitals’ teams will be on-site at
community shelters, and all pets adopted during the event will
receive a limited health guarantee and a gift bag filled with pet
essentials. Pet owners visiting the event will also be offered a
certificate for a Free First Exam, so they can experience the
exceptional care offered at VCA Animal Hospitals.

will engage the broader community throughout the campaign period by
inviting them to post photos of their pets on all social media
platforms and share why they love them using #LoveMyPet and
#ClearTheShelters.
