LBACS' Clear the Shelters event will culminate on the last weekend of August with waived adoption fees from August 29-31. According to Melanie Wagner, Manager of Long Beach Animal Care Services, this event is not just an adoption drive but also a beacon of hope for animals in need during a challenging time for shelters.

This year marks the 11th consecutive year that NBC and Telemundo-owned stations have partnered with affiliate stations, animal shelters, and rescues for Clear the Shelters. Since its inception in 2015, this campaign has successfully helped more than one million pets find new homes.
