With the continued challenges and barriers for shelters and pet owners, too many pets are not receiving spay/neuter, resulting in unplanned litters filling animal shelters. We are reducing overpopulation and helping to encourage responsible pet ownership so pets will remain in their loving homes.  

BISSELL Pet Foundation does not award grant money through the Fix the Future program. Instead, we pay contracted veterinarians directly and connect them with approved Host Organizations (animal shelters, designated spay/neuter facilities, etc) in regions where spay/neuter is needed. If you are interested in being a Host Organization and receiving spay/neuter support from BISSELL Pet Foundation, please review the requirements below prior to contacting us to see if you would be eligible. 

Host Organization Requirements

The deployed veterinarians often split their time between spaying and neutering the local shelter population to prepare pets for adoption and providing the procedure for pet owners at a low cost or no cost.  

A nationwide veterinary shortage is making it hard for both pet owners and shelters to access veterinary care. 

The shortage also has increased costs, making veterinary care too expensive for pet owners’ and shelters’ budgets. Sadly, many pet owners surrender their pets because they cannot afford care, and too often, pregnant mothers or mothers with litters are surrendered to shelters.
