Join February Star Sanctuary for 'Clear the Shelters' Month
Every year, February Star Sanctuary proudly partners with NBCUniversal Local's annual campaign to 'Clear the Shelters.' This initiative focuses on promoting pet adoption and gathering donations to help local shelters, making a significant impact on animal welfare.
About the Campaign
Each August, NBCUniversal Local hosts the 'Clear the Shelters' campaign, an exciting nationwide initiative encouraging people to adopt pets and support local shelters. The campaign is a partnership with various animal shelters across communities in the U.S. Since its launch, it has facilitated nearly 1.2 million pet adoptions and raised more than $5 million, a testament to its growing success and community impact.
This year's campaign features an extended fundraising effort that starts earlier and runs until mid-September, allowing animal lovers more time to contribute and make a difference. With numerous shelters involved, the opportunity to give animals a loving home has never been more accessible.
