D-FW television stations sponsor all sorts of community initiatives. One of the very worthiest is NBC5/Telemundo39’s “Clear the Shelters” pet adoption drive, which will be on Saturday, July 23rd.

On that day, more than 65 North Texas animal shelters will offer no-cost adoptions. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Fort Worth-based station began this campaign in 2014 in partnership with the Irving Animal Shelter. Since 2015, all NBC Universal-owned TV stations are participating.
