Adopted 2018
Empty Shelters = Lives Saved
Adoption saves two lives – the adopted pet and the one who takes their place in the shelter.
As the nation’s largest funded adoption event, Empty the Shelters helps homeless pets find families by making adoption affordable for prospective pet owners. We do this by supporting participating organizations with reimbursement for each pet adopted.
This lifesaving reduced-fee adoption event is a Win-Win-Win:
- Adopters win because BPF helps offset adoption fees, making it possible to take home a spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped pet who’s ready to be loved for $70 or less.
- Shelters win because the event brings awareness and foot traffic, helping pets get adopted.
- And, most importantly, every pet wins by finding
a loving home!
Events are held quarterly. Follow us on social media to see announcements for upcoming events.

Empty the Shelters is the nation’s largest funded adoption event.
How it Works
Shelters in 49 States and Canada
Hundreds of BPF shelter partners across the country participate to connect homeless pets with families.
Pet Adoptions at a Reduced Fee
Thanks to BPF, adopters pay no more than $70 to adopt their new best friend who comes home spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
More Pets Find Loving Homes
Affordable adoption fees allow more pets to find homes opening lifesaving kennel space to allow shelters to save more lives.
Find a Participating Shelter Near You
Our Empty the Shelters® Spring National Adoption Event takes place May 1–17!
Our nation’s animal shelters are facing an overcrowding crisis unlike anything we have experienced in more than a decade. To help as many pets as possible go from shelter kennels to the couches of loving homes, BISSELL Pet Foundation is sponsoring reduced adoption fees at a shelter near you. Please use the interactive map to view all participating locations.
Each organization follows its own adoption procedures — contact the shelter you are interested in adopting from before the event to find out their specific requirements, hours, and locations, view adoptable pets, etc.
Filter Shelters
After using the filters to narrow your search, select a pin on the map and click More Info to be directed to the shelter’s website to access their contact information, adoptable pets, hours and locations.
