From August 1 - August 31, 2022, we are once again partnering with local shelters to help you find your forever friend! Below is a list of participating Connecticut shelters. You can also browse on your smartphone for adoptable pets in your area by breed, gender, size and other factors with the WeRescue app.
Online donations can be made to participating shelters and rescues during the campaign at ClearTheSheltersFund.org. 100 percent of your donations will go directly to the shelters and rescues.
