Many animals in our area are in need of forever homes. That's why necn and Telemundo Boston are partnering with dozens of shelters throughout the region to help find these animals loving homes.
Aug. 15, 2015 is "Clear the Shelters" Day, an initiative by NBC-owned stations to help get animals waiting for new homes successfully adopted.
Dozens of shelters are taking part in #ClearTheShelters Day. Participating shelters hope to attract even more people than usual who are interested in adopting a furry friend.
