CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY ANNOUNCES CLEAR THE SHELTERS

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (August 6, 2018) The Chautauqua County Humane Society (CCHS) is teaming up with WGRZ Ch. 2 On Your Side to host NBC/Universal Owned Television Stations’ Clear the Shelters fourth annual nationwide pet adoption drive. CCHS will offer the public no-cost adoptions on Saturday, August 18th, as part of the nationwide Clear the Shelters initiative that seeks to find new homes for homeless pets.

This year’s Clear the Shelters event comes after last year’s highly successful effort, which resulted in nearly 80,000 pets finding new homes through an unprecedented partnership between the NBC/Universal Owned Television Stations and hundreds of animal shelters located all across the country and in Puerto Rico. The nationwide day of action literally emptied dozens of animal shelters across the country and inspired local communities to take action and open their homes to animals in need.

Locally at CCHS 39 animals found their forever homes during last year’s Clear the Shelters.  Community Relations Director Brian Papalia says “It was an amazing site to see the shelter, nearly empty. CCHS had the highest success rate in Western New York. We are really looking forward to seeing these kind of results again this year.”

WHAT: Chautauqua County Humane Society to participate as an official Clear the Shelters partner alongside WGRZ Ch. 2 On Your Side. CCHS to offer no-cost adoptions on all pets.

                        WHEN:  Saturday, August 18 from 10 AM to 5 PM

                        WHERE:  2825 Strunk Rd., Jamestown, NY 14701
