The BISSELL Pet Foundation is hosting a national Empty the Shelters event to help pets find their forever homes. This year’s national adoption event is October 4 – 9th.
The Blue Water Humane Society will participate in the national event from October 5 – 9th. Adopting a pet from the Blue Water Humane Society during Empty the Shelters enables new pet parents to adopt for a reduced fee.
The regular price to adopt a cat is $100 and $150 for a dog. During Empty the Shelters, the cost is reduced to $25 for dogs, and cats and rabbits are free.
Interested new pet parents can view available pets at the Blue Water Humane Society by checking out their profile on Pet Finder.com <HERE>, and then call the shelter to get pre-approved by filling out an application. You must be pre-approved to adopt a pet through this program by October 5th.
Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation, said, “Shelters are in dire need of support in the wake of natural disasters and overcrowding due to obstacles such as increased length of stay and slowed adoptions for mid-to-large sized dogs. Our fall ‘Empty the Shelters’ will support the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters in this time of crisis. Opening your home to a shelter pet will save a life and create space to give another pet a chance.”
