Clear the Shelters
August 24 @ 12:00 pm - August 25 @ 5:00 pm EDT
On Saturday, August 24th & Sunday, August 25th, the Humane Society for Hamilton County will take part in the annual Clear the Shelters adoption event to alleviate our ongoing capacity emergency.
In place of the traditional adoption fees, eligible animals will be just $10 in honor of Clear the Shelters’ 10th Anniversary. All adoptions include a free one-month supply of preventatives, spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, start bag of food, and wellness exam at a participating veterinarian. The first 50 families who walk through the door will receive a goody bag.
