Help KPRC 2 Clear the Shelters with our annual pet adoption drive!

HOUSTON – KPRC 2 is proud to once again join NBC and Telemundo’s Clear the Shelters initiative and team up with Telemundo Houston and animal shelters in the Houston area to host the seventh annual Clear the Shelters nationwide pet adoption drive from August 23 through September 19.
