Henrico 'Clear the Shelter' event sets record with 47 animals adopted

Six animal rescue organizations came together this weekend at the Henrico Police Animal Shelter for Clear the Shelter — and the results were record-breaking.

A total of 47 animals found forever homes, the highest number of animals adopted in the history of the Clear the Shelter event.

Laura Cotterman with Furbish Thrift called the turnout "phenomenal."

"We have about 60 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies here today [Saturday], and I think at least half of them have already been adopted and gone home. So it's going to be a record adoption event," Cotterman said.
