Clear the Shelters Initiative Offers Reduced Fees, Free Adoptions Across Multiple US Shelters

Across the United States, multiple humane societies are participating in the Clear the Shelters campaign with special adoption events featuring reduced or waived fees to encourage pet adoptions. The Dane County Humane Society in Wisconsin is offering discounted fees for cats, dogs, and critters, including special pricing for long-waiting animals, and will extend shelter hours to accommodate more adopters. Similarly, the Aggieland Humane Society in Texas is providing free adoptions during its Clear the Shelters weekend, with volunteers ready to assist visitors. Dorchester Paws in South Carolina is addressing overcapacity by offering all animals microchipped, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated for a low flat fee, while encouraging community support beyond adoptions. In Florida, the Halifax Humane Society is concluding a month-long campaign with free adoptions and family-friendly events, aiming to place 100 pets over the weekend. These coordinated efforts reflect a nationwide push to find homes for shelter animals and reduce overcrowding at local facilities.
