News Release
FULTON — BISSELL Pet Foundation is hosting its Empty the Shelters — Holiday Hope reduced-fee adoption event from Dec. 1–17, including at area shelters in Fulton County, Whitley County and Elkhart County.
BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is partnering with animal shelters across the country for its Empty the Shelters—Holiday Hope reduced-fee adoption event. By supporting participating organizations with reimbursement for each pet adopted, adoptive families pay no more than $50 to bring home a fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered pet.
“It has been an incredibly challenging year for saving lives, as our nation’s shelters continue to take in more pets than they are adopting out. Tens of thousands of shelter pets — of all breeds, ages, and personalities — are desperately in need of homes,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Empty the Shelters — Holiday Hope is more than an adoption event; it’s a lifeline for homeless pets. Please visit your local participating shelter to adopt or foster a pet this holiday season.”
