Nationwide pet adoption comes to Brandywine Valley SPCA

On Saturday, Aug. 19, NBC10 will be at Brandywine Valley SPCA, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for “Clear the Shelters,” a nationwide pet adoption campaign that seeks to match homeless pets with loving and permanent homes. Brandywine Valley SPCA will waive their pet adoption fees to help families find and adopt a new pet. Brandywine Valley SPCA is one of nearly 50 participating shelters and rescues throughout the Delaware Valley that will waive their adoption fees on Saturday as part of the campaign.

NBC10’s anchor/reporter Keith Jones and Traffic Reporter Jessica Boyington will be at Brandywine Valley SPCA on Saturday to meet adopters and help promote the campaign. Nearly 50 animal shelters and rescues from the Greater Philadelphia region will offer waived adoption fees to help families adopt a new pet.

A real-time pet “Adoption Tracker” – posted on ClearTheShelters.com – will record the total number of pets that are adopted across all participating markets.
