BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is prompting a national call for adoption this fall with its Empty the Shelters waived-fee adoption event Oct. 1-15. Lee County Domestic Animal Services will participate along with more than 390 shelters in 44 states.
The waived adoption fees include spay or neuter, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations, county license and a 10-day health check. This is a $600 package. Volunteers and staff are waiting to introduce your new family member to you. Just stop by the adoption center 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 5600 Banner Drive in Fort Myers.
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. Nearly 283,000 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.
