| A crisis is unfolding with 600 animals waiting . . . and waiting. But you can do something about it Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m., when the Humane Society for Hamilton County takes part in the 11th annual Clear the Shelters adoption event. With nearly 600 animals in need of adoption, HSHC will do whatever it takes to make sure these animals can live, love, and be loved. “Facing an overcapacity crisis and a rise in our animals’ average length of stay, it is an uphill battle to find these pets a forever home,” said Emma Nobbe, Community Engagement Manager for HSHC. “The longer they wait, the harder it becomes for them to imagine a life beyond the kennel walls. We urgently need the community to step in on August 23rd to give these animals the second chance they deserve.” For one day only, adoption fees will be reduced to just $10, giving families the perfect chance to welcome a new pet into their homes (some exclusions apply). All adoptions include a free spay/neuter, microchip, one round of age-appropriate vaccinations/deworming, a wellness exam at a participating veterinarian, and a starter bag of food. |
