"Our nation's animal shelters need your help as they face an overcrowding crisis unlike anything we have experienced in more than a decade. The devastating increase in owner surrenders and stray intakes has left tens of thousands of deserving pets desperate to find a home," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation.
"Our 'Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope' event is the perfect opportunity to make a difference in your community by saving a life and creating space to give another homeless pet a chance this holiday season."
This is the first time in the organization’s history that the Logan County Humane Society has participated in the Empty the Shelters Event. There are currently more than 80 animals under the shelter’s care that are in need of new homes.
The Logan County Humane Society is so grateful for the support of the Bissell Foundation which is committed to finding homes for shelter animals across the United States . Their generosity and commitment to helping cats and dogs has enabled us to provide more families in Logan County with the opportunity to adopt a pet. On behalf of the animals we serve, we thank the Bissell Foundation for believing in second chances.
BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event is the largest funded adoption event in the country. This lifesaving event began in 2016 with a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. More than 204,000 pets have found loving homes since its inception.
“Empty the Shelters” is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 730 animal welfare organizations in 49 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.
Pet adoption is a lifetime commitment, and not just for the holidays. BISSELL Pet Foundation and the Logan County Humane Society urge families to research the pet they are interested in adopting, as well as adoption requirements.
