BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is bringing hope to the nation’s shelter pets this holiday season with its “Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope” adoption event May 1st-15th.
BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsors reduced adoption fees of $50 or less per cat or dog during this nationwide event. This event will be hosted in more than 275 shelters in 43 states, including Big Sky CARES.
BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters" event is the largest funded adoption event in the country. This lifesaving event began in 2016 with a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. Nearly 160,000 pets have found loving homes since its inception. “Empty the Shelters" is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 560 animal welfare organizations in 47 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.
