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 in August 2023 that helps find loving homes for animals in need. More than 700,000 pets have found their forever homes since 2015.
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!
Take a look below at some the pets available this August in Southeast Texas...
