Right now, animal shelters across the country are feeling the impact of the veterinarian shortage. Many shelters are hundreds of spay/neuter surgeries behind schedule and many communities don’t have access to veterinary care.
BISSELL Pet Foundation is working to address the desperate need for affordable and accessible spay/neuter services across the country by disrupting traditional models that no longer meet the need. We created the Fix the Future™ Spay/Neuter Initiative to solve the access to care crisis plaguing our nation’s pet families and animal shelters. Through this initiative, we work to address overpopulation and stop the euthanasia of adoptable cats and dogs by deploying veterinarians to underserved shelters and communities to spay/neuter, vaccinate and microchip both homeless and owned pets.
Blossom was a young pregnant mom when she was found under a house. Within a few days of becoming part of our foster program, she gave birth to five beautiful babies. When Blossom was taken to the vet soon after giving birth, it was found that she still had baby teeth. Blossom gave up her kittenhood to nurture her babies. With help from a BISSELL Pet Foundation grant, she and her babies have all been spayed and neutered, and adopted.”
