Adopt a pet!
Meet Ziggy! He’s a black lab/shar-pei mix that I adopted during the Bissell Pet Foundation empty the shelters event! His adoption fee was completely waived as long as I took a picture with him. :)
If you’re looking to adopt a dog I would definitely recommend looking up when they’re doing empty the shelter events near you!! Even if there’s not one and you’re looking I definitely recommend going to shelters, give them a chance. Even try fostering if you can!

Adopting a pet can be one of the most rewarding decisions you can make in 2024. For many, like Ziggy, a black lab/shar-pei mix, the journey to find a forever home starts at adoption events like the Bissell Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters. These events often waive adoption fees, making it easier for loving families to welcome a new member into their lives. If you're considering adoption, it's essential to research local shelters and their available programs. Shelters frequently host special events that not only provide financial assistance but also promote awareness of the pets needing homes. You can often find diverse breeds and personalities, ensuring a match that suits your lifestyle. Additionally, fostering an animal is a fantastic way to support shelters and help animals find loving homes while giving you the chance to see if a particular pet is the right fit for you. Engaging with the community through hashtags like #AdoptAPet and #EmptyTheShelters can also be beneficial. They are excellent resources for connecting with others who share a passion for animal welfare and can give insights into upcoming events. Furthermore, sharing stories about your adopted pet on social platforms can inspire others to consider adopting as well. Remember, each adoption story contributes to a larger narrative of compassion and responsible pet ownership.
