To help reduce the overburdened shelters due to increased owner surrenders and longer says for pets, BISSELL Pet Foundation has teamed up with MetLife Pet Insurance to host a Summer National “Empty the Shelters” reduced-fee adoption event which will run July 6-31.
The Kent County Animal Shelter, 740 Fuller Ave. NE, and Harbor Humane Society, 14345 Bagley St., West Olive, are among the more than 300 shelters in 44 states that are participating in the summer event. Adoption fees at participating organizations will be just $50 or les per cat or dog.
Make sure to check with the local shelter for guidelines and other adoption information.
As the nation’s largest funded adoption event, “Empty the Shelters” has helped nearly 158,000 pets find loving homes with an average of 1,200 pets adopted per day during quarterly national events.
