Clear the Shelters

LA Animal Services is teaming up once again with NBC4/KNBC and Telemundo 52 Los Angeles/KVEA for the return of the award-winning pet adoption campaign Clear the Shelters™. On Saturday, August 17, at all six LA Animal Services Centers adoption fees will be reduced to $20 for all dogs and puppies 4 years old or younger. Dogs 5 years and older will have fees waived thanks to The Pet Care Foundation, and cat and kitten adoption fees are waived thanks to a generous grant from the ASPCA.

LA Animal Services pets are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. While dog adoption fees are reduced, there will be a $20 dog license fee applied for LA City residents for dogs 4 months and older. Adopters will need to provide a valid government issued identification card when adopting.

“Since we launched Clear the Shelters five years ago, the adoption drive’s unprecedented success has become an integral part of the community every year,” said NBC4 President and General Manager Steve Carlston. “NBC4 looks forward to continuing the tradition of helping alleviate the animal overpopulation at shelters and offering affordable adoptions to all our viewers.”
