Events

Come meet OPH volunteers and adoptable dogs at the Pet Supplies Plus in Mount Airy, MD!

It's Clear the Shelters 2025 and we’re ready to join in the fun!

This is the annual nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign organized by NBCUniversal Local, in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition and Greater Good Charities. The goal? Find forever homes for pets in need and raise awareness about pet homelessness — and of course, celebrate the joy of adoption!

Our Dates:
We’ll be participating August 15 through September 15, 2025.

Special Adoption Fee Reductions:

Dogs over 6 months old: $50 off the adoption fee

Cats over 6 months old: $25 off the adoption fee

Several dogs already have a $0 adoption fee, fully covered by generous sponsors
