Many shelters participating in the campaign are offering cost-effective ways to adopt by waiving some of their fees. Stick around to see where you can start your search for a new pet. What is Clear the Shelters? Clear the Shelters is an annual campaign to save shelter animals across the country. Participating shelters are all waiving adoption fees on Saturday, August 27, and some are waiving fees throughout the month, however, other fees may apply. How do I adopt a pet in the Chicago area during Clear the Shelters? To adopt, you must be at least 18 years of age. Be sure you bring your current/valid driver’s license or state ID.
