SPCA Takes Part In National Adoption Day Aug. 17

From the SPCA of Westchester

The SPCA is thrilled to announce that it is once again teaming up with NBC NY CH. 4 of NBCUniversal for the fifth annual Clear the Shelters Adoption Event!

During this special one-day extravaganza, many animals will have waived or reduced adoption fees (some exclusions apply). This year's event will be held on Saturday, August 17th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Potential adopters are encouraged to submit an application in advance to help jumpstart the approval process. Walk-ins are welcome that day as well. Pre-approval does not guarantee a specific animal and adoptions are on a first come first serve basis. All members of the family must be present, including dogs to facilitate meet and greets with other dogs. Animals adopted through the SPCA of Westchester are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations and are microchipped.

“We’re very grateful to NBCUniversal for once again hosting this important event,” says Shannon Laukhuf, SPCA Executive Director. “Clear the Shelters has helped raise awareness about the importance of adoption, giving thousands of animals a second chance at a happy life.”

The SPCA has more than 100 wonderful dogs, cats, puppies and kittens all looking for loving new homes. Since 2015, NBC’s Clear the Shelters campaign has resulted in more than 250,000 pet adoptions nationwide. To preview animals for adoption at the SPCA of Westchester please visit SPCA914.ORG.
