Clear the Shelters is Back!

This August, join us for Clear the Shelters, a nationwide adoption campaign in partnership with NBCUniversal Local!

Devore and Big Bear Animal Shelters are offering FREE adoptions all month long to help pets find their forever home.

All adoptions for qualifying pets include spaying/neutering, microchipping, and most vaccines.

The meet-and-greet areas allow you to meet adoptable pets and determine whether you and your pet are the perfect match. Meet your future best friend and give a shelter pet the forever home they deserve!

Adopt a pet and help us clear the shelters! View available pets.
