“The Summer National Empty the Shelters event is a crucial opportunity for people to make a real difference in their community through adoption. Every single adoption saves a life and creates space to save another,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Please adopt and give a pet a chance it might otherwise not have.”

The BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event began in 2016 with a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. More than 253,000
pets have found loving homes since its inception. Empty the Shelters is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 742 animal welfare organizations in 49 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.

“The continued support of BISSELL Pet Foundation during the heat of the summer is a true gift,” said Charleston Animal Society Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Aldwin Roman. “Summer is the most challenging time of year to find homeless animals new families and BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event will allow us to save many more lives.”
