NEW YORK<\/strong>\u202f\u2013 (July 19, 2023) \u2013 Hill’s Pet Nutrition<\/a>, a subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive and global leader in science-led pet nutrition, returns for the sixth consecutive year as the national sponsor of Clear The Shelters<\/em><\/a>, NBCUniversal Local\u2019s nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign from Aug. 1 to 31. NBCUniversal Local includes 43 NBC and Telemundo owned stations across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHill\u2019s Pet Nutrition\u2019s commitment to our Clear The Shelters<\/em> campaign has been instrumental in its continual growth and the impact it provides to the shelter and rescue partners helping pets find new homes,\u201d said Bruce Kallner, SVP of Business Development, NBCUniversal Local. \u201cWe are thrilled to again collaborate with Hill\u2019s Pet Nutrition on another tremendous campaign to help animals in need and support our communities around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support Clear The Shelters<\/em>, Hill\u2019s Pet Nutrition will provide adoption kits to help new pet parents and their pets get a healthy start on their new life together. Kits containing starter bags of Hill\u2019s science-led nutrition, coupons, pet-parenting tips and other supplies will be available at select shelters during the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery week we see shelters across the country pleading for people to consider adoption, asking for volunteers and encouraging fostering to help with overcrowding. It\u2019s a big problem that we can only solve together,\u201d said Nicki Baty, US President of Hill\u2019s Pet Nutrition. \u201cThat\u2019s why we are proud to continue as the lead national sponsor of NBCUniversal Local\u2019s Clear The Shelters<\/em> as we work together to break down barriers and help more pets find new homes. If you\u2019re thinking about bringing a pet into your family, there\u2019s never been a better time to consider adoption from your local shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBCUniversal Local\u2019s Clear The Shelters<\/em> directly aligns with Hill’s Pet Nutrition mission to support pets in need through the Hill\u2019s Food, Shelter & Love program, which partners with shelters 365 days a year by providing science-led nutrition to feed the pets in their care. For more than 20 years, the Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love program has provided more than $300 million in food to shelters across North America, and has helped more than 13 million pets find new homes.
