Clear the Shelter Returns at PAWS Murfreesboro

Rutherford County PAWS is waiving all adoption fees during the weekend of September 6th through 8th.

Rutherford County PAWS has again joined NBCUniversal Local’s nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign Clear The Shelter, which runs now through September 10th in commemoration of the event’s 10th anniversary.

During the month-long, multi-platform campaign, NBC and Telemundo owned stations are partnering with affiliate stations, animal shelters, and rescues to promote pet adoption and raise funds to support animal welfare.

Rutherford County PAWS asks members of the community for their participation during the campaign and invites them to the culminating event on Saturday, September 7th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 285 John R. Rice Blvd. in Murfreesboro.

“Surpassing the one millionth all-time adoption last year and now celebrating our 10th campaign are not just milestones, these numbers help quantify the incredible support Clear The Shelters has received from communities around the nation and the impact it’s had on vulnerable animals and the shelters that care for them.” — Meredith McGinn, NBCUniversal Local’s Executive Vice President of Diginets & Original Production

PAWS stands for Pet Adoption Welfare Service. It is located at 285 John R. Rice Blvd., next to the Lane Agri-Park. For more information on the Paws for a Cause event, visit their website.
