Operation Kindness celebrated the tenth annual Clear the Shelters initiative with NBCUniversal and Telemundo from August 10 to September 10, 2024, increasing animal adoptions in the community and creating space in animal shelters across the country as they reach critical capacity levels. During the campaign, we adopted 601 pets, 342 cats and 259 dogs, to new loving homes.
Over the month-long initiative beginning August 10, 2024, Operation Kindness partnered with NBCUniversal and Telemundo to promote animal adoption in the community, with the organization hosting free animal adoptions from Friday, September 6 through Sunday, September 10, 2024 at all of its locations. Adoptions from the Carrollton location also included a free memory foam pet bed ($75 retail value), donated by Litter-Robot by Whiskers! and a bag of pet supplies and fun from MetLife.
“Clear the Shelters is an important annual initiative where all of us in the animal community work harder and more creatively than ever to find homes for animals in America,” said Operation Kindness CEO Ed Jamison. “601 pets finding new loving homes this month is the award for our efforts, and we are happy to celebrate. Dallas Animal Services is a key shelter partner for us, and we were energized to see that out of the 601 pets adopted through Clear the Shelters, 21% of those animals came to us from Dallas Animal Services.”
Last year, Operation Kindness facilitated 5,702 adoptions for dogs and cats in North Texas.
We have animals available for adoption at its Carrollton shelter as well as its Everyday Adoption Center at PetSmart and Cat Adoption Centers at PetSmart and Pet Supplies Plus locations across the Dallas area.
