Clear The Shelters, the annual nationwide pet adoption campaign organized by NBCUniversal Local and Telemundo, returns this August. Since launching in 2015, the campaign has helped more than 1 million pets find homes.
The Gulf Coast Humane Society, located at 3118 Cabaniss Parkway in Corpus Christi, Texas, is an official participating shelter. The shelter is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout August.
Many participating shelters, including Gulf Coast Humane Society, are offering reduced or waived adoption fees during the campaign. Policies vary by location — some shelters are eliminating fees entirely, while others are offering discounts. Prospective adopters are encouraged to contact their local shelter directly for details.
"Want to adopt one of these cuties?" the shelter said.
Week 5:
Sammy - 10 months old, Terrier mix
Hi, I’m Sammy! I’m a happy, energetic pup who loves making new friends! I get along great with both dogs and cats. I’ve got plenty of playful energy to share, and I’m hoping to find a family who’s ready to have some fun with me!
Week 4:
Nibbles- 2 yr old, male terrier mix
Hello there, I'm Nibbles! I'm a handsome, sweet boy who loves playing outside and spending time with people! Any chance I get to go for a walk, I'm ready to tag along—I love exploring and trying new things. When it comes to dogs and cats, send them both my way! I get along well with both and would be happy to share my home with either. I'm especially playful with other dogs, so I'd love to have a canine buddy to play with! I've been patiently waiting for my forever family, and I think now is the perfect time to meet them. I can't wait to find my forever home!
Florence - 1 yr old, female shorthair
I'm Florence, a petite tortoiseshell girl with a heart full of love to give! I've been with GCHS since May and now I'm ready to settle into my forever home, where I can shower you with all the affection I've got. I'm the perfect lap-sized companion for someone looking for a gentle friend. Come meet me and experience the sweetness I bring — I promise it'll be the best investment you make! ❤️
McGee - 4 yr old, female terrier mix
Hey there, I'm McGee. I'm a big love bug that would love to spend my days with you. I have some pain in my legs, so I'm not the most active guy in the shelter. But if you're looking for someone to curl up in the dog bed and keep you company - I'm your guy! I've been with GCHS since July 2025, and I really hope I'll find my forever home soon so I can rest someplace safe with someone I love.
Crustopher - 3 yr old, male tabby
Hola, I'm Crustopher, a handsome 3-year-old brown tabby boy with a playful spirit! I've been at GCHS since last October and I'm ready to settle into my forever home, though there's one thing you should know — I'm FIV positive, which means I'll do best as your one and only cat. With proper care and love, I can live a long, happy life alongside a dedicated human like you. I promise to bring intelligence and fun to your household every single day. Come say hello — I'd love to meet you!
Neon- 4 yr old, male terrier mix
Hey there — I'm Neon, a 4-year-old brindle and white Terrier mix with plenty of energy and a heart full of friendliness! I've got a playful spirit that's ready to brighten your days. I get along great with cats, though I'm selective about my dog buddies — I'd thrive best as your main canine companion. One thing to know: I have special dietary needs, so I'll need a caring owner who's committed to keeping me healthy and happy. Come meet me at the shelter — I'm ready for my forever family!
