Since its 2015 inception, NBCUniversal Local’s Clear The Shelters pet adoption campaign has helped more than half a million pets find new homes. And who knows how many pets will get a new lease on life from this year’s campaign.
Now in its seventh consecutive year, NBCUniversal Local’s 2021 Clear The Shelters month-long campaign began on Aug. 23.
As part of this year’s initiative, NBC and Telemundo owned and affiliated stations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico have partnered with more than 1,300 animal shelters and rescues in their communities to promote pet adoption and fundraising to benefit animal welfare.

And this weekend, a Clear The Shelters special will be presented on NBC stations and COZI TV beginning Friday, Sept. 17 (check local listings for dates and times.)
The 30-minute show, which celebrates the ongoing 2021 nationwide pet adoption and donation campaign, is hosted by actress and comedian Lauren Ash.
Ash, best known for the hit NBC comedy Superstore, leads the Clear The Shelters special from Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles.
The program features highlights from this year’s campaign, a look at celebrities who have found love through pet adoption, and many amazing stories of animal rescue, including an introduction to one man who turned his passion of photography into a rescue mission with the use of a drone.
In partnership with The Dodo, the No. 1 animal brand on social media, the show also shares amazing stories of pet fostering and the ‘miracle matches’ that provided shelter animals a new lease on life.
Ash starred as the character Dina Fox in the critically acclaimed Superstore, for which she earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Broadcast Network Comedy at the 2021 Hollywood Critics Association TV Awards. Her long list of additional film and TV credits includes: Another Period, Super Fun Night, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, and the Oscar-nominated The Disaster Artist. She voices the fan favorite Scorpia in all five seasons of She Ra and the Princesses of Power and will be returning to animation this month, playing the titular character in Chicago Party Aunt.
Ash also co-hosts the award-winning true crime podcast True Crime & Cocktails, which she launched in 2020 with her cousin and best friend Christy Oxborrow. Hailing from Canada, she is the recipient of six Canadian Comedy Awards and a Canadian Screen Award (Canada’s Emmys). Ash currently resides in Los Angeles with her rescue Chihuahuas, Fox and Peaches, and tabby cat, Sharky.
