When it comes to helping animals, most people think of rescue stories—saving dogs from a puppy mill, bottle-feeding a litter of abandoned kittens, or search and rescue during a disaster. These are emotional, urgent, and important. 

But behind every crisis is a bigger, quieter problem: pet overpopulation.  

In case you haven’t heard, BISSELL Pet Foundation is launching a RESISTANCE and we need you on our side. This is a movement against a crisis we can solve. Pet overpopulation is 100% preventable. The solution has been in our hands all along: spay and neuter. 

Through our Fix the Future® program, BPF is providing spay/neuter access in communities across the country, breaking down barriers of cost and access. With your help, we can address the root cause of pet overpopulation, and stop the cycle before it starts. 

And here’s the truth: fundraising is hard. Most people don’t donate to spay/neuter programs—because they can’t see the individual faces they’re helping.  

Let’s look at it differently. Your donation is an investment in a better future. 

What’s your return on investment? 

When you invest in BPF’s Fix the Future program, you’re not just helping one animal—you’re changing the entire system. Here’s what your gift makes possible:  

Eliminate euthanasia for space 

No more heartbreaking decisions to euthanize adoptable pets because the shelter is full. 

Healthier pets 

Spayed/neutered animals typically live longer, healthier lives and reduce the spread of diseases. Additionally, through Fix the Future, every pet receives vaccines and microchips. 

Improved capacity for care 

Lower intake numbers mean shelter staff can focus on higher quality care and individualized attention. 

Less staff burnout 

When staff aren’t overwhelmed, compassion fatigue decreases and turnover slows. 

No adoption bottlenecks 

With manageable intake, animals move through the system more smoothly and find homes faster. 

Happy community pets

Fewer strays, fewer litters, less disease—everyone benefits. 

Your investment isn’t a band-aid. It’s a cure. 

Join BPF’s Resistance today by investing in a better future for pets.  

Do you want to prevent pets from suffering and stop the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets due to the lack of space in shelters? 

Your gift of $39 will pay for one spay/neuter procedure, preventing unplanned kittens and puppies from entering the overburdened shelter system. This is your chance to be part of a solution with proven, measurable results that yields exponential returns. Will you invest in pets and help us spread the word that prevention is the most powerful form of rescue? 

If you want to be part of the solution by joining BPF’s Resistance, here’s your challenge:  

1. Spread the word: Tell friends and family that spay/neuter is the only way to stop pets from suffering and end euthanasia for space. 
2. Share this blog and our social posts.

Because when you invest in spay/neuter, you invest in a world where every pet has a chance—before they end up in crisis.  

Until every pet has a home,
