A rare sight to celebrate: Tennessee Animal Shelter says it's empty, as of Friday

CLEVELAND, Tenn. (WTVC) —Workers at the Cleveland, Tennessee Animal Shelter say they will not have much to do this weekend — but in this case, that's a good thing.

The reason? Thanks to adoptions, the shelter is now empty, as of Friday morning.

The shelter shared the good news on Facebook Thursday night:

"It is with pure joy that at this very moment we can announce that we have officially CLEARED THE SHELTER!!! This is the FIRST TIME EVER that we have been able to do this before a Holiday weekend! We’d like thank YOU - the members within our community for adopting, claiming, and sharing our pet’s posts online!" the post reads in part.

Unfortunately, the celebration will likely be short-lived as shelter workers resume their duties caring for animals and finding them fur-ever homes.

The shelter is providing more updates on its progress on its Facebook page.
