Since its start in 2015, Clear The Shelters has led to more than 1 million pet adoptions and raised more than $5 million for participating shelters. NBCUniversal and Hill’s Pet Nutrition have teamed up to help us find loving homes for pets in need with this yearly pet adoption and donation campaign. During last year’s Clear The Shelters, APS of Durham found homes for over 150 pets and community members like you raised over $18,000 for animals in need!
Clear The Shelters – All Dog Adoption Fees Waived!
Second Chance Surprises
For this year’s campaign, APS is highlighting second chances, because we know every home found, every family matched, is a brand new beginning for the pets that need us. And to make sure as many pets as possible get their second chance, APS is setting all cat adoption fees to $50 and waiving all dog adoption fees for the rest of the month!
During the month, we’ll be celebrating with new Second Chance Surprises every week! Every Thursday through Saturday (while supplies last), adopters can enjoy fun surprises to make bringing home a new best friend even sweeter. From special giveaways to exciting promotions, you’ll want to check back each week to see what’s in store.
Can’t adopt but still want to help Clear the Shelter?
You can still help create second chances!
Every week, we’ll announce a new weekly donation match offered by our Clear The Shelters partners, giving you the opportunity to make your gift go even further. Of last year’s $18k raised, $7k came from matches! Check this page for this week’s match details and a link to our unique Clear The Shelters donation page. Donations must be made through this Clear The Shelters link (and not the APS website donation form) to count for the match!
🚨 This Week’s Donation Match
Beginning Tuesday, August 25 at 1:00 PM ET, The Black Dog will match donations dollar for dollar—up to a collective $50,000 across all participating Clear The Shelters organizations.
The match is first come, first served, so giving early once the window opens gives your donation the best chance of being doubled! All donations through this page will reach APS of Durham, but only those made at the time above will have a chance to be matched!
A heartfelt thank you to our partners Hill’s, NBCUniversal, Greater Good Charities, and all of the incredible sponsors and supporters making this lifesaving campaign possible. Together, let’s make August a month filled with second chances, happy endings, and plenty of new beginnings.
