In 2016, “Clear the Shelters” was responsible for almost 54,000 pets finding their forever homes.

“Through our efforts last year, the Burlington County Animal Shelter found 57 animals their forever homes during this one day event,” Garganio continued. “In honor of this year’s event, the Burlington County Animal Shelter is waiving all adoption fees for approved applicants this Saturday.”

“I ask the residents of Burlington County to always remember to adopt not shop. Let’s break last year’s record and find even more animals loving forever homes this year!” concluded Garganio.

The Burlington County Animal Shelter is located at 35 Academy Drive in Westampton, behind the Burlington County Library. For more information, call (609) 265–5073 or visit the county website at http://www.co.burlington.nj.us/168/Animal-Shelter.
