South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota ‘Empty the Shelters’ Events Coming
If you've been looking for the right time to add a furry member to your family, you're in luck.
The BISSELL Pet Foundation is getting ready to host its Empty the Shelters reduced-fee adoption event, which will include nine South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota facilities.
The event runs from July 8-31.
During each nationwide event, the foundation sponsors reduced adoption fees so shelters can charge $50 or less to help families get fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered pets.
