Donate Ways to Give

BISSELL Pet Foundation is a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness.

In partnership with shelters across the country and by providing much-needed resources to underserved communities, BISSELL Pet Foundation is reducing the number of animals in shelters and rescues through pet adoption, transport, spay/neuter programs, vaccinations, microchipping, and crisis and disaster response. 100% of donations directly support pets in need.

As a hands-on foundation, we are committed to understanding the needs of different geographic areas, knowing our partners, and working together to create the best possible outcomes through grant funding for programs and initiatives that directly impact homeless pets.

Empty the Shelters is Back!

‘Tis the Season to Save Lives!

BISSELL Pet Foundation is bringing hope to homeless pets this holiday season by sponsoring reduced adoption fees at 290+ shelters in 43 states. From Dec. 1 – 11, visit a participating shelter to adopt a fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered pet for just $50 or less!

Each organization follows its own adoption procedures — contact the shelter you are interested in adopting from prior to the event to find out their specific requirements, hours and locations, view adoptable pets, etc.

What’s Happening in Your Shelter?

Animal shelters throughout the country are facing extreme challenges with staffing and length of stay for their pets. The recent rental crisis has also increased owner surrenders, adding to the burden of already overcrowded shelters. Unfortunately, these issues have become systemic. Don’t just take it from us, click on the links below and hear from shelter staff across the nation. We will continue to add more videos and updates as our community shelters navigate this crisis for homeless pets. It is a great time to reach out to your local shelter to foster, adopt, donate or simply say thank you for their incredible work to save lives.
