Our Mission
BISSELL Pet Foundation exists to assist animal welfare organizations. This includes helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters and rescues through pet adoption, spay/neuter programs, microchipping and foster care.
Our Pillars
Each year in North America, millions of pets enter shelters and almost half of them are euthanized. Shelters and rescues work tirelessly every day to address the pet overpopulation problem and they need help. With your support, BISSELL Pet Foundation provides much-needed financial assistance to change the outlook for thousands of dogs and cats, until every pet has a home. Here’s how we make a difference:
Adoption
Adoption is central to addressing pet homelessness. By sponsoring adoption events, providing adoption vouchers and bringing attention to the importance of adoption, we get pets out of shelters and into loving homes. Adoption saves lives.
Spay & Neuter
Unplanned litters from unsterilized homeless pets, and even family pets, add to the overburdened shelters in our nation. We love pets, but there are already more than enough in our world for everyone. By providing spay/neuter clinics, vouchers, and proactive programs, we stop dogs and cats from multiplying. Sterilization gets to the root of the overpopulation problem.
Microchipping
We believe all pets should be microchipped and registered to help get reunited with their owners if lost. We provide funding for this simple and painless procedure which keeps pets out of shelters and in their loving homes. Microchips make sense.
Foster Care
Some pets need a little TLC or just aren’t suited for a kennel environment. Conditions such as illness, recovery from surgery or injury, and even old age require nurturing by loving volunteers while pets await their forever homes. Programs to support foster care also free up space in shelters to save even more homeless pets in need. Foster care fosters compassion.
