From Prince George’s County:
Largo, Maryland – The Prince George’s County Animal Services Facility is teaming up with NBCUniversal owned television station NBC4 Washington/WRC-TV to host the second annual Clear the Shelters – a nationwide pet adoption drive.
The Animal Services Facility in Upper Marlboro will offer the public reduced fee adoptions ($5 pet license fee) and waived pet spaying and neutering fees on Saturday, July 23, 2016 from 10 AM – 4 PM as part of the Clear the Shelters initiative, which seeks to find new homes for homeless pets.
“We’re very excited to once again participate in this national event and work with NBC4 Washington/WRC-TV to showcase the wonderful pets available for adoption in Prince George’s County. From dogs and cats to fish and snakes, there is a wide range of animals waiting to be welcomed into loving, forever homes,” said Rodney Taylor, Associate Director, Animal Services Facility.
This year’s Clear the Shelters event comes after last year’s highly successful inaugural effort, which resulted in 56 pets from the Animal Services Facility finding new homes and nearly 20,000 pets nationwide being adopted into new families.
Prince George's County Animal Services Facility is located at 3750 Brown Station Road, Upper Marlboro and can be reached at (301) 780-7201.
