Hopkinton's Baypath Humane Society Participates in #CleartheShelters Day

NECN's Clear the Shelters Day promotes adopting pets from local shelters.

The homeless pet population is one that seems to grow. Countless cats and dogs sit in the already over-burdered shelters in our areas.

In an effort to urge folks to consider adopting an animal from a shelter (as a opposed to a breeder or pet store), NECN and other NBC-owned stations are hosting its first ever “Clear the Shelters” day on Aug. 15.

Dozens of shelters in the area are participating, including Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton. Located at 5 Rafferty Road, its hours that day are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
