Pasadena Shelter Teams Up With NBC4 and Telemundo 52 for Day-Long Adoption Event
The Pasadena Humane Society (PHS) and SPCA, along with over 50 Southern California animal shelters and rescue groups, is participating in the second annual “Clear the Shelters” campaign, a day-long adoption event, spearheaded by NBC4 Southern California and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles.
On Saturday, July 23, the adoption fee for all animals will be reduced to $20 and the shelter will hold extended adoption hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“I’m proud that our stations are working with so many local animal shelters throughout the Southland to help rescue thousands of animals,” said NBC4 president and general manager Steve Carlston. “This is an exciting initiative to support an important community cause and mobilize millions of people to adopt a pet from their neighborhood shelter.”
During last year’s event, 57 shelter animals found new homes at PHS and more than 18,000 pet adoptions were adopted nationwide.
The public is encouraged to begin posting photos with their pets on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, using the hashtags #ClearTheShelters @NBCLA and #DesocuparLosAlbergues @Telemundo 52.
The Pasadena Humane Society and SPCA are located at 361 S. Raymond Ave. The event is open to anyone looking to adopt a pet; not just residents of our service cities. Regular adoption policies and screening apply. To expedite the adoption process, download and print an adoption application in advance on our website. If you rent, bring proof you are allowed to have a pet at your residence. Parking is available onsite. View all animals at the shelter at www.pasadenahumane.org/adopt.
