A Month Long Initiative to Promote Animal Welfare for Ninth Consecutive Year from Aug. 1 to 31
REISTERSTOWN, MD – Baltimore Humane Society has joined NBC Universal Local’s 2023 Clear The Shelters pet
adoption and donation campaign from Aug. 1 to 31.
This is the ninth consecutive year NBC and Telemundo owned stations are partnering with affiliate stations and 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.
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, built courtesy of Fundraise Up, an online donation
platform that helps nonprofits grow revenue. 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.
