Clear the Shelters, an annual nationwide campaign to promote pet adoption, is returning to Charlotte on August 22. According to WCNC Charlotte, the event provides a coordinated effort across local animal shelters to find homes for animals in their care while raising awareness about pet adoption in the region.
The campaign offers multiple ways for Charlotte residents and businesses to get involved beyond adoption. Participants can donate supplies or funds, volunteer their time, or foster animals temporarily—creating opportunities for community members at different levels of commitment to support local animal welfare efforts.
For Charlotte-area businesses and individuals looking to make a community impact, the Clear the Shelters event represents an accessible way to engage with animal welfare organizations. The August 22 event underscores the ongoing work of local shelters and the importance of pet adoption resources in the Charlotte region.
