Seattle Humane participating in annual Clears The Shelters campaign

Bellevue, Washington, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Seattle Humane is once again participating in NBCUniversal Local’s monthlong Clear The Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign in August. NBC and Telemundo stations partner with animal shelters and rescues in their communities to promote pet adoption and raise funds that support animal welfare. 

This year Seattle Humane is offering a monthlong promotion for Clear The Shelters, where the adoption fee is $1 per pound for dogs 50 pounds or more and cats one year and over. All available pets and their profiles can be found at SeattleHumane.org. 

“Clear The Shelters provides an amazing opportunity every year to work with our local NBCU affiliates to raise awareness about the shelter pets who have been waiting the longest to find loving homes,” said Seattle Humane’s Brandon Macz, “and to increase their visibility in the hopes that those families see them and make that life-changing trip to Seattle Humane.” 

Seattle Humane’s Clear The Shelters promotion was recently featured on New Day Northwest, a popular program produced by local NBC affiliate KING 5 News. The segment also highlighted a number of shelter dogs who have spent months looking for new homes. 

The nonprofit animal shelter completed 640 adoptions during the 2024 Clear The Shelters campaign and found homes for more than 350 pets so far during this monthlong campaign.  

Hill’s Pet Nutrition is generously sponsoring this year’s Clear The Shelters campaign and has been a longtime supporter of Seattle Humane, including providing meals for their shelter pets. People coming through the shelter will be able to pick up special goodies provided by Hill’s on Saturday, Aug. 23.
