The Richardson Animal Shelter is waiving adoption fees through Aug. 31 in observance of “Clear the Shelters,” a now-nationwide annual adoption and donation event that the Shelter helped start in 2014. Shelters waive adoption fees and offer other promotions to encourage pet adoption during August, a time of year when shelters are particularly full due to factors such as spring kitten births as well as the usual summer uptick of people moving to new homes and unable to take along their pets. Event sponsor Hill’s Pet Nutrition will match all monetary donations up to $20,000.
