BISSELL Pet Foundation supports programs and initiatives that are focused on addressing the pet overpopulation crisis in our country.
Fix the Future™ was launched to address the lack of access to veterinary care for both shelters and pet owners. Through the deployment of our trusted network of nearly 100 relief veterinarians, BPF is breaking the barriers to affordable and accessible spay/neuter. Each pet impacted also receives preventative vaccines and microchips. This program not only prepares shelter pets for adoption, but also provides crucial services to community-owned pets through clinics for $25 or less.
Fix the Future also includes a voucher program to offset the cost of spay/neuter in communities where BPF has partnerships with local veterinarians. BPF-funded vouchers help remove the financial burden for pet owners, allowing pets to stay in homes without unplanned litters.
Data Since March 2022
With the continued challenges and barriers for shelters and pet owners, too many pets are not receiving spay/neuter, resulting in unplanned litters filling animal shelters. We are reducing overpopulation and helping to encourage responsible pet ownership so pets will remain in their loving homes.
BPF has a network of veterinarians licensed in more than a dozen states that we deploy to areas of need where access is limited, and shelters are overcrowded. The deployed veterinarians often split their time spaying and neutering the local shelter population to prepare pets for adoption and providing the procedure for pet owners at a low cost or no cost.
BPF’s network is comprised of high-quality, high volume spay-neuter veterinarians trained in safe, humane, and efficient practices to maximize the number of surgeries performed in a day.
A nationwide veterinary shortage is making it hard for both pet owners and shelters to access veterinary care. The emotional stress of veterinary medicine is driving veterinarians into private practice or out of the industry completely.
The shortage also has increased costs, making veterinary care too expensive for pet owners’ and shelters’ budgets. Sadly, many pet owners surrender their pets because they cannot afford care, and too often, pregnant mothers or mothers with litters are surrendered to shelters.
