Help NBC4 #ClearTheShelters Today!

The big day is here: Today, NBC4 is trying to find pets a new home!

We are part of #ClearTheShelters day, a nationwide push to find homes for pets in need.

Today, adoption fees are being waived at our participating shelters. And we're going to encourage every family that can to help find these animals a forever home. 

Below are our participating shelters. Please note that their operating hours may vary; you will need to contact the shelter to check hours before you go.

Adoption Tracker

Bring a photo ID and be ready to fill out adoption paperwork. Renters, remember that you will need to have your landlord's approval for a pet. 

And if you adopt today, please SHOW us by sending us a photo of your new addition! Tweet or Instagram @nbcwashington with the hashtag #ClearTheShelters, or email isee@nbcwashington.com.

Later today, we'll livestream the adoptions from the Washington Humane Society.

Thanks, and today -- let's Clear the Shelters!
