Golden Belt Humane Society announced it is participating in KSN’s fourth annual Clear the Shelters™ pet adoption drive on Saturday, August 18. On this day, Golden Belt Humane Society will offer waived pet adoption fees to help local families adopt a new pet. Since 2015, NBC and Telemundo stations’ nationwide Clear the Shelters™ campaign has resulted in more than 150,000 pet adoptions.
“We are very excited to be participating in this event,” said Heather Acheson, Golden Belt Humane Society Director. “This is the first time Golden Belt Humane Society will be included in an event like this and we look forward to all the happy tails, for both the humans and pets. Each year, the shelter takes in 1100-1600 animals per year and it is not always easy to get them all placed in a timely manner. We work to transfer to other shelters and rescues when length of stay becomes an issue. This platform of this capacity is such a breath of fresh air in placing everyone that is adoptable, we certainly appreciate everyone who has helped make this event possible.”
“The Kansas Humane Society in Wichita, Ks., reached out to ask us if we would partner/host this event. With out any hesitation, we agreed to take on the challenge. Since then, planning for this event has been extremely exciting as several folks have stepped up to volunteer, partner and sponsor with our expectations soaring. Without these kind-hearted and dedicated people in our community both near and far, we could not have made this happen on this scale.”
