Fort Lauderdale, FL – The Humane Society of Broward County announced that it has teamed up with NBC 6 South Florida/WTVJ and Telemundo 51 Miami/WSCV to host NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations’ Clear the Shelters second annual nationwide pet adoption drive. The Humane Society of Broward County will be waiving the adoption fee for all pets on Saturday, July 23, as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters initiative that seeks to find new homes for homeless pets.

“We are looking forward to another successful event this year.  In 2015 hundreds of people visited the Humane Society of Broward County and adopted their new furry family member.  A total of 167 pets were placed and we hope to match that number again” said Cherie Wachter spokesperson for the HSBC.

This year’s Clear the Shelters event comes after last year’s highly successful inaugural effort, which resulted in nearly 20,000 pets finding new homes through an unprecedented partnership between the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations and hundreds of animal shelters located all across the country and in Puerto Rico. The nationwide day of action literally emptied dozens of animal shelters across the country and inspired residents in our communities to take action and open their homes to animals in need.
