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.
Nearly 400 organizations in 44 states will be taking part, including these South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota facilities:

- Sioux Falls: Sioux Falls Area Humane Society.
