LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Efforts are underway to mitigate the animal overcrowding issue at our local shelters through waived adoption fees.
This isn't the first time we've told you about waived adoption fees at The Animal Shelter, but it's not common that we get to tell you it's all month long.
For all of August, there will be no adoption fees for adult cats and large dogs as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters campaign — running from Aug. 1-31. Adoptions eligible for the waiver require:
- Cats must be at least 6 months old
- Dogs must be at least 6 months old and weigh more than 30 pounds
By the way | Clark County microchipping deadline is Aug. 4
This marks the 11th year of the Clear the Shelters campaign, and to celebrate, the shelter said adoption fees will also be waived for all pets in the shelter on Aug. 30-31, including puppies and kittens.
