The San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter participated in the nationwide adoption event, “Clear the Shelters,” on Saturday, August 15th.
The campaign was sponsored by NBC-owned television stations and Telemundo Stations Group. With a push to find homes for animals in need, along with reduced adoption fees, the event in San Clemente was a huge success.
