TAVARES, Fla. — The Lake County Animal Shelter is hoping September brings empty cages.

Now through Sept. 19, the shelter is holding a Clear the Shelters promotion. Adoptions are free as well.

Last year, the shelter had 275 adoptions.

There are dogs of all ages and sizes looking for homes, and the shelter has had over 1,000 kittens this summer.

The shelter is located on County Road 448 in Tavares.

To see adoptable animals, head to the Lake County Animal Services website.
