ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - It's time to Clear the Shelters! This year's nationwide Clear the Shelters adoption event will be held August 17.
People across South Georgia will be able to adopt pets with little or no fees.
The nationwide day of action last year literally emptied dozens of animal shelters across the country and inspired local communities to take action and open their homes to animals in need.
If you would like a local animal shelter to join this year's cause, reach out and ask them to call WALB for how to register.
