Empty Shelters = Lives Saved
Adoption saves two lives – the adopted pet and the one who takes their place in the shelter.
As the nation’s largest funded adoption event, Empty the Shelters helps homeless pets find families by making adoption affordable for prospective pet owners. We do this by supporting participating organizations with reimbursement for each pet adopted.
This lifesaving reduced-fee adoption event is a Win-Win-Win:
- Adopters win because BPF pays the adoption fees allowing them to take home a fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered pet who is ready to be loved for $50 or less (much more affordable than purchasing a pet!)
- Shelters win because the pets they care about get a second chance when adoption fees are covered by BISSELL Pet Foundation.
- And, most importantly, every pet wins by finding a loving home!
Events are held quarterly. Follow us on social media to see announcements for upcoming events.
