Clear The Shelters 2023 Campaign

Hill’s Pet Nutrition has embarked on a heartfelt journey in a world where acts of kindness can transform lives. With a legacy spanning 75 years, Hill’s proudly stands as the national sponsor of NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters for the sixth consecutive year. Now, in its two-decade commitment to animal shelters and pets in need, this powerful initiative shines a beacon of hope for pets seeking forever homes. Hill’s unwavering support proves that compassion can change countless lives as the nation unites for Clear The Shelters from August 1st to 30th, 2023.

A National Crisis and Clear The Shelters’ Calling:

Amidst these tumultuous times, America’s animal shelters face a crisis. A surge in the number of pets entering shelters, coupled with fewer adoptions, has created a challenge of unprecedented proportions. In 2022 alone, more than 90,000 dogs and cats found themselves within shelter walls without the promise of a new home. Overcrowding and limited resources have stretched the capabilities of these shelters, prompting a call for action.

A Resolute Commitment to Change:

Clear The Shelters is a beacon of light amidst the darkness, bringing together communities and pet lovers in a collective effort to make a difference. In its sixth year of sponsorship, Hill’s Pet Nutrition has set its sights on achieving one million pet adoptions since the campaign’s inception in 2015.

President of Hill’s Pet Nutrition US, Nicki Baty, passionately advocates, “Millions of deserving pets are waiting on a second chance, so there’s never been a better time to consider adopting.” Whether adoption, fostering, volunteering, or donating, Hill’s encourages everyone to play a role in alleviating this crisis.

Empowering Change: How You Can Get Involved:

The beauty of Clear The Shelters lies in its inclusivity. Here’s how you can join hands with Hill’s and make a difference:

  1. Adopt: Open your heart and home to a needy pet by visiting HillsClearTheShelters.com to find a local shelter near you.
  2. Volunteer: Utilize your skills to make an impact. If you’re a photography enthusiast, offer your talents to capture heartwarming images of shelter pets to aid in their adoption journey.
  3. Foster: Provide a temporary refuge for pets, helping alleviate overcrowding and preparing them for their forever homes.
  4. Donate: Contribute to the cause by visiting ClearTheSheltersFund.org. All donations directly support shelters and rescues in need.
  5. Purchase: Every purchase of Hill’s pet food contributes to the Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love program, feeding 100,000 pets daily.

Hill’s Unwavering Support:

Hill’s Pet Nutrition’s dedication goes beyond sponsorship; it’s a lifelong commitment. Their Food, Shelter & Love program, initiated in 2002, has been solely devoted to nourishing shelter pets, revolutionizing animal welfare, and supporting shelters and rescues. Over 13 million cats and dogs have found loving homes through this program, with more than $300 million worth of food donated to shelters nationwide.

In 2023, Hill’s has amplified its support:

  1. Generous Donation: Hill’s contributes $100,000 to Greater Good Charities, amplifying the Clear The Shelters Fund and aiding in air-lifting shelter pets from overcrowded regions to areas with higher demand for adoptable pets.
  2. Support for New Pet Parents: Hill’s is crafting adoption kits, complete with science-led nutrition, tips, and more for new pet parents.
  3. Advocacy in Style: Philanthropist and teen entrepreneur Sir Darius Brown designs bow ties in Hill’s colors, enhancing the appeal of shelter pets and increasing their chances of adoption.
  4. Employee Engagement: Hill’s and Colgate-Palmolive employees volunteer their time and expertise in shelters throughout August.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition, as the guiding light behind Clear The Shelters, epitomizes the transformational power of compassion. The legacy of 75 years shines brightly as it joins hands with communities, volunteers, and pet lovers in a harmonious effort to uplift lives and create lasting change. As we embark on this year’s Clear The Shelters campaign, Hill’s encourages us to discover the beauty of a second chance and the profound impact of a heart opened wide to the paws that need it most.
