The ASPCA teamed up with Animal Care Centers of NYC and Megan Thee Stallion's Pete & Thomas Foundation to launch this year's Rescue Effect campaign, finding homes for 29 shelter animals at a single Queens event.
Why it matters
The grant funding behind the campaign is designed to take the cost barrier out of adoption right as shelters nationwide are seeing overcrowding, giving more dogs a faster path out of the shelter system.
What to watch
The Rescue Effect campaign continues at participating shelters nationwide through the rest of the year, with more fee-waived adoption events expected.
