CLEVELAND — Clear the Shelters is officially underway!
The annual campaign is taking place the whole month of August, with more than 20 shelters from across Northeast Ohio partnering with 3News to help pets find a new forever home.
During the first three weeks of the 2023 Clear the Shelters campaign, 2,166 animals were adopted from shelters and rescues in Northeast Ohio.
Each day, 3News will be highlighting a different animal shelter or rescue in Northeast Ohio on our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) as well as on our site. Check back daily to see the animal rescue of the day.
