The Longmont Humane Society is looking to find furever homes for its more than 130 animals Saturday during a Clear the Shelters event.

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the shelter, 9595 Nelson Road . All adoption fees will be waived. Additionally, all Longmont Humane Society animals available for adoption are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Those who adopt from the shelter also get a 30-day free trial of pet insurance, as well as complimentary adoption follow-up support for the life of the animal.

Carrie Brackenridge , the Longmont Humane Society’s director of marketing and communications, said Clear the Shelters helps to bring awareness to local shelters and supports animals and people alike.

“By participating in Clear the Shelters, Longmont Humane Society and the animals looking for homes through our shelter, benefit from the increased media coverage that comes with this national adoption event,” Brackenridge said in an email Thursday. “For the animals we are caring for, it hopefully decreases their length of stay with us here at the shelter before they find their new forever homes.”

This year marks the second time the Longmont Humane Society has participated in the nationwide event. Last year, roughly 127 animals were adopted. In the weeks following, Brackenridge said less than 10% of the animals were returned.

“This is in keeping with our average rate of return throughout the year,” Brackenridge said. “Based on these numbers, it’s clear that the event successfully matched families with animals that were a great (fit) for their homes.”

Clear the Shelters is supported by an NBC and Telemundo partnership. Since its inception in 2015, more than 250,000 pets have been adopted. This year, the nationwide goal is to find homes for 100,000 animals.

Those interested in adopting from the Longmont Humane Society can preview available animals by visiting the shelter’s website. A list of what people can expect the day of the event can be found online or by calling the humane society at 303-772-1232.
