‘Cat Daddy’ Jackson Galaxy joins NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters 10th annual adoption and donation campaign
OVERLAND PARK, Kan, Sept. 03, 2024 – Shelters are facing an over-capacity crisis with too many animals coming in and not enough adoptions. In fact, 6.5 million animals entered shelters in 2023, according to Shelter Animals Count. The good news is that 66% of people are likely to adopt a shelter animal, according to the 2024 Hill’s Pet Nutrition State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report. Recently, TV personality and cat behavior and wellness expert Jackson Galaxy conducted a satellite media tour in conjunction with D S Simon Media to talk about his partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition and NBCUniversal Local for the 10th annual Clear The Shelters campaign.
Clear The Shelters, NBCUniversal Local’s nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign, encourages Americans to consider the life-changing power of choosing pet adoption. Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a global leader in science-led pet nutrition, is serving as the national sponsor and partner of Clear The Shelters for the seventh consecutive year.
In hopes of encouraging people to consider bringing home a shelter animal, Jackson Galaxy is addressing common misconceptions that people may have in their minds around animal shelters. Jackson is here to help pet parents successfully navigate the adoption process and the transition home.
Jackson is also sharing the many ways to get involved with Clear The Shelters, which runs until Sept. 10:
- Adopt: If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal and loving companion, visit ClearTheShelters.com to find a shelter near you.
- Volunteer: Shelters are in desperate need of volunteers. If you aren’t in a position to adopt, offer up your time and an extra set of hands instead.
- Donate: Consider donating at ClearTheSheltersFund.org where 100% of donations go directly to shelters and rescues.
- Foster: Open your home to a pet in need by providing temporary housing to help reduce overcrowding and help a pet prepare for adoption.
During the campaign, Hill’s Pet Nutrition will provide adoption kits to new pet parents. Available at participating shelters, the adopter kits include starter bags of Hill’s Science Diet, coupons, pet-parenting tips and other supplies. For 22 years, Hill’s has focused on helping end pet homelessness through supporting shelter pet adoption, so being the lead sponsor of the Clear The Shelters campaign is a natural extension of this mission.
Since the campaign’s inception, Clear The Shelters has helped more than 1 million pets find homes and raised millions of dollars for participating animal shelters and rescues.
