July 23 is the day of #ClearTheShelters, a national pet-adoption day sponsored by NBC. The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland is one of the participating shelters. Last year nationwide, nearly 20,000 animals found new forever homes. New England Cable News will have camera crews on site at the ARLGP’s facility on Saturday, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 1 p.m.
Get there early, as it takes some time to meet the animals and go through the adoption process. Last year, folks were waiting in line before the door opened.
