Clear The Shelter In Aiken
Clear The Shelter Day is Aiken County Animal Shelter’s biggest adoption event of the year and takes place this Saturday, August 9, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. During this special event, all adoptable pets will be sponsored and adoption fees are waived. The Aiken County Animal Shelter is located at 333 Wire Road in Aiken.
If you’re hoping to adopt on Saturday, the shelter encourages those looking to adopt a dog to bring a collar and leash. If it’s a cat you’re thinking of adopting, a cat carrier is recommended.
