St. Hubert’s is excited to once again join NBC New York to host Clear the Shelters. This year has been unique, which is why we’re doing things a little differently for Clear the Shelters 2020. Instead of dedicating just one day to the event, we’ll be virtually celebrating all month long with several ways you can participate. Here’s how you can help.

Adopt a new best friend

We have wonderful animals who still need homes and it’s imperative we continue to find adoptive families for the animals in our care. Learn more about our adoption process here.

Q: Will you be doing an in-person pet adoption drive on August 29?
A: No, but we are thrilled to be able to offer virtual adoption services in addition to offering adoptions by appointment every day at our Madison shelter. We have many wonderful animals waiting to meet you.

Q: Will you be waiving adoption fees for Clear the Shelters?
A: Standard adoption fees will apply for all animals. Like many animal welfare organizations across the country, the COVID-19 crisis continues to stretch us beyond our limits financially. Thank you to our community for your ongoing support which has allowed us to keep our doors open and to ramp up our efforts to meet the needs of the New Jersey region and beyond.

Q: What if I’m interested in adopting a specific breed or age animal?
A: All available animals are updated in real time at www.sthuberts.org/animals-available-for-adoption. We encourage you to continue to check our website and learn more about our adoption process at www.sthuberts.org/adoption-process. Additionally, our adoption counselors are happy to help ensure you’re making the best match for your family based on the animal's individual personality and your lifestyle.

Foster an animal in need

Not ready to adopt? Fostering an animal in need helps us create a virtual shelter in the community for our most vulnerable animals. On any given day our fosters double the number of animals we can rescue, and they give an animal the best possible place to wait to find a loving home. We are particularly in need of fosters for medium to large size dogs.

Donate money or supplies

Clear the Shelters has partnered with GreaterGood.org to help support St. Hubert’s essential work year-round. Your donation will help support the animals in our care, from medical treatments to daily enrichment and beyond. Donate here: sthuberts.org/supportcts
