Clear the Shelters™ Returns to Help Pets Find Homes This August!

NBCUniversal’s Clear the Shelters™ pet adoption campaign is back, and the Humane Society of Charlotte is once again proud to participate in this nationwide effort to help as many animals as possible find loving homes.

Over the past eleven years, Clear the Shelters™ has helped more than one million pets across the country get adopted — and HSC is thrilled to continue being part of that impact. Here in Charlotte, we’re working toward our goal of placing over 3,000 animals into new homes this year, and Clear the Shelters helps us get there.

Adoption Specials All Month Long

From August 1–31, we’re offering a full month of adoption promotions to help more pets find their perfect match:

  • BOGO 50% off kittens (under 1 year)

  • 50% off all adult dogs and cats (1+ year)

  • FREE adoptions for senior pets (7+ years)

No Appointment Needed

Adoptions at HSC are now first-come, first-served — no appointment necessary! Just stop by our Adoption Center at 1348 Parker Drive during open hours to meet your next best friend. All adopters must be 18+ and bring a valid photo ID.

Support Even If You Can’t Adopt

Can’t adopt right now? You can still support our work during Clear the Shelters™ by making a donation. Every dollar helps us continue providing medical care, shelter, and second chances to pets who need us most.
