The Complete Guide To The Empty The Shelters Event on December 14th

Find out what the big deal is about this Empty The Shelter event in Southwest Michigan this December.

114 animal shelters and rescues nationwide will offer reduced-fee pet adoptions during the Empty the Shelters - Holiday Hope event on December 14.

One thing that stands in the way of many of these adorable pets finding a forever home is cost.  The Bissell Pet Foundation is removing that obstacle with this reduced adoption fee ($25 or less.)

According to their press release,

BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters - Holiday Hope event will include shelters in 22 states including 45 in Michigan. All adoptable pets available during Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope will be microchipped and spayed/neutered.
