Across the country, over 100,000 pets were adopted during last year’s event, but millions more remain homeless. Every year, 6.5 million animals end up in shelters nationwide — and only 3.2 million are adopted, according to the ASPCA.
Many local shelters will take part this year in Clear the Shelters. Refer to the interactive map above to identify a participating shelter near you.
