MSPCA Hosts Weekend Adoption-a-thon With No Adoption Fees for Small Pets – NBC Boston

Hundreds of animal shelters across the country are hoping to clear the shelter.

It is part of a nationwide campaign to help animals in need find their forever homes. This year marks the 10th anniversary of helping more than a million pets get adopted.

As part of its month-long “Clear the Shelters” initiative, the MSPCA-Angell in Boston is hosting an “adopt-a-thon” this weekend, with waived adoption fees for all small animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs and birds.

That runs from Friday to Sunday.

This is your cue to adopt, not shop: We had some furry friends from Animal Rescue League of Boston come by the studio to shine a light on Clear The Shelters, and you can adopt them all!

This weekend is really a big push to wrap up this 10th annual Clear the Shelters event that ends Tuesday. Over the past decade, NBC Universal stations have helped more than a million pets find their fur-ever homes.

There is also a donation initiative, which started on August 1 and runs through September 30.

If you do not have the space or opportunity to take in an animal yourself, but still want to help the animal shelters, you can make a donation during this event.

Through the network of MSPCA adoption centers, they hope to adopt at least 100 animals this weekend.

So visit your local shelter and get a new pet that your whole family will love.
