Empty the Shelter Adopt-a-thon in Phoenix
High goals having been reached, the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA is reaching for more when the state's largest and oldest no-kill animal shelter conducts its second Empty the Shelter Adopt-a-Thon this weekend.
Last year, 180 animals were placed in homes in a 12-hour period.
This year, the group hopes to match more than 200 animals with owners.
That's nearly 17 dogs or cats an hour.
