Clear the Shelters Adoption Promotion an Overwhelming Success for Connecticut Humane Society

WHAT: On August 15, the Connecticut Humane Society partnered with NBC Connecticut for the Clear the Shelters promotion. For this one day only, adoption fees were $50.

We are thrilled to announce that 122 cats, dogs, puppies, kittens and small pets found their forever homes at the Connecticut Humane Society’s three locations – Newington, Waterford and Westport on Saturday.

The Connecticut Humane Society is grateful to everyone in the community who made this successful promotion possible; adopters, staff, volunteers, supporters, and our friends at NBC Connecticut all helped save these 122 pets.

Forty Connecticut shelters, from animal control to other non-profit groups, participated in this national event. Because of this collaborative effort, over 600 pets found new homes.

By adopting a pet, two lives are saved, the pet that goes home and the pet waiting for space in the shelter. This kind of success makes it possible for Connecticut shelters to help even more pets in need. Thank you!

The Connecticut Humane Society is the leading resource in the state for companion animal welfare, enriching the lives of families and communities through adoption services, medical care, education, and prevention of cruelty.www.cthumane.org.
