SICSA joins ‘Clear The Shelters’ campaign

The SICSA Pet Adoption and Wellness Center has joined NBCUniversal Local’s 2023 Clear The Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign for the month of August. This is the ninth consecutive year the TV company is partnering with animal shelters and rescues to promote pet adoption and raise funds for animal welfare. Since its inception in 2015, Clear The Shelters has helped more than 860,000 pets find new homes.

“We are excited to participate in Clear the Shelters again this year and find loving homes for many of our animals,” said Ashley Camden, adoption program manager of SICSA. “For the entire month of August, we will focus on raising visibility for our adoptable animals and critical funding for their care. To close out and celebrate this year’s campaign, we will offer a Name-Your-Own-Adoption-Fee event on Aug. 26. We look forward to a successful campaign full of happy pets and people.”

The 2023 Clear The Shelters will again feature online donations through Greater Good Charities, a global nonprofit and longtime campaign partner, which will host the fundraising campaign. Donors have the option to cover transaction fees with their donation so that 100% goes directly to the shelter or rescue of their choice. Online donations can be made during the campaign at ClearTheSheltersFund.org.

Virtual pet adoptions are also returning for the fifth consecutive campaign through WeRescue. The WeRescue app enables users to browse adoptable pets in their area by breed, gender, size, and other factors, submit their adoption applications and ask questions directly to shelters through the app.
