This year 45,920 shelter animals found homes with help from Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption initiative that aims to connect animals with loving families.
Nearly 700 shelters across the country participated July 23 by offering free adoptions. Oklahoma City Animal Welfare sent 277 animals to their new homes, clearing their shelter. Tulsa Animal Welfare added 166 adoptions to the overall total, which doubled last year’s record of 19,685.
Rescue animals have always held a soft spot in my heart. As a result, an 11-month-old pointer mix named Babe found her forever home with me.
