Ending Pet Homelessness

Why We Do This Work

Each year in North America, more than six million pets enter shelters, and nearly one million 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.

How We Make a Difference

BISSELL Pet Foundation creates programs and initiatives to address our nation’s pet overpopulation crisis. With your support, BPF can change the outlook for homeless cats and dogs until every pet has a home. 

Our Programs

Empty the Shelters™

By sponsoring adoption events and bringing attention to the importance of adoption, we get pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

Spay & Neuter

Sterilization gets to the root of pet overpopulation. By providing access to spay/neuter services, clinics, vaccinations, and other proactive programs to both shelter and community-owned pets, we stop dogs and cats from multiplying.

Transport

By transporting adoptable pets from overcrowded shelters—mainly in the South—to rescue partners with adopters seeking pets, the pets find homes, and lives are saved.
