This year's Empty the Shelters adoption event is being held May 5-9.
The event, which successfully found forever homes for 18,359 animals last year alone, is sponsoring reduced adopt fees at 200 participating shelters and rescues in 36 states this week.
McKinley County Humane Society of New Mexico which is a beneficiary of the Bissell Pet Foundation, will be honoring the discount during this week's Empty the Shelters promotion.
The event is sponsored by the Bissell Pet Foundation, a 501 c (3) nonprofit organization with a mission to help reduce the number of animals in shelters through pet adoption, spay-neuter programs, microchipping and emergency support.
“The national Empty the Shelters event in May will be our largest yet, and as a small foundation, we are incredibly proud to see the growth of this program as we continue to expand its impact,” Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation, said.
“Empty the Shelters not only helps our shelter partners free up space in their facilities, but it places pets in permanent homes. It’s a win-win for everyone involved … our partners, ETS adopters, and most importantly, the pets.”
