Noco Humane Joins National Effort To “Clear the Shelters” This August

By: Staff

NOCO Humane is proud to partner with NBCUniversal Local for the 2025 Clear the Shelters campaign, a nationwide pet adoption initiative dedicated to finding loving homes for animals in need. Now in its 11th year, Clear the Shelters has helped unite more than one million pets with families across the country.

Throughout the month of August, NOCO Humane invites the community to be part of this life-changing movement. Every Saturday and Sunday, adopters will have the opportunity to spin a prize wheel after selecting their new companion. Prizes range from reduced adoption fees to perks like retail discounts, free personalized ID tags, and the chance to “name your price” for an adoption fee.

“This campaign is all about offering second chances, making space, and supporting the work that goes on behind the scenes every day to care for our region’s most vulnerable animals,”said CEO Judy Calhoun.

Not ready to adopt? You can still make a powerful difference. Donations to NOCO Humane help provide medical care, daily enrichment, warm beds, and safe shelter to animals who need it most. Supporters can give online at: https://register.nocohumane.org/give/234539/#!/donation/checkout.

In 2024, NOCO Humane cared for more than 11,000 homeless pets across northern Colorado—a number expected to grow in the year ahead. Clear the Shelters is an opportunity to ease capacity constraints while giving deserving animals a second chance.

Led by NBCUniversal Local’s NBC and Telemundo stations, Clear the Shelters brings together more than 100 local TV affiliates and hundreds of animal shelters each year to promote adoption and raise funds. In 2024 alone, the campaign helped nearly 170,000 animals find homes and raised over $500,000 for shelter programs nationwide.
