Your new fur-ever family member awaits you!

Adopt a pet at this year’s NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 Clear the Shelters ALL MONTH LONG, Aug. 1-31. This is the purr-fect opportunity to grow your family. Some shelters are waiving fees throughout the month; however, some shelters are not. Other fees may apply. Please check with your nearest shelter for their fee policy.

Many shelters are experiencing a summer surge of new pets for various reasons. You can make a lasting difference by saving an animal today. Please choose to adopt from one of our partner shelters.

To date, over 59,000 pets found their fur-ever homes in North Texas and more than 860,000 have been adopted across the country. Every adoption is a life saved!

To adopt, you must be at least 18 years of age. Be sure you bring your current/valid Driver’s License or State ID. If you do not have your current address on your Driver’s License or State ID, you will need to bring proof of residency such as a current utility bill or current lease agreement with your correct address.

This year, 72 shelters have signed up to participate in North Texas and one of our favorite shelters is Operation Kindness. We sit down with Ed Jamison, the CEO of Operation Kindness. They are a non-profit animal welfare organization that is a pioneer in Texas for assisting animals in need of veterinary care, companionship, and most of all, a home. This organization focuses on creating a kinder world for pets. For more information about Operation Kindness, visit. www.OperationKindness.org.
