Bring home a pet and help clear the shelters in 2024

BEAUMONT, Texas —

12News is joining NBC and Telemundo stations across the country to team up with hundreds of shelters to host Clear the Shelters, a nationwide pet adoption drive starting August 10, 2024, that helps find loving homes for animals in need. More than 1,000,000 pets have found their forever homes since the program began.

More than 1,000 shelters and rescues around the country have already registered to participate in this year’s campaign.

This year we’re working to clear the shelters at not one, but THREE Southeast Texas animal shelters!
