Free Pet Adoptions October 1-15

LCAC joins 390+ shelters nationwide to reduce adoption fees and find loving homes for pets

BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is prompting a national call for adoption this fall with its Empty the Shelters reduced-fee adoption event from Oct. 1-15. League City Animal Care will participate along with more than 390 shelters in 44 states. To help deserving shelter pets find loving homes, BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsors reduced adoption fees of $50 or less per cat or dog during each nationwide event.

"Right now, our nation's animal shelters are in crisis with too many pets coming in and not enough adoptions to keep up. Euthanasia rates have hit a 3-year-high, and healthy, adoptable pets are at risk due to space constraints," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. "BISSELL Pet Foundation's Fall National Empty the Shelters offers a chance for the community to save lives through adoption while creating space for shelters to help more pets. If you can't adopt, fostering can also make a lifesaving difference. Deserving pets across the country are counting on all of us."

League City Animal Care has been participating in Empty the Shelters events for three years and have placed hundreds of pets during these sponsored events.

"We remain at EXTREME overcapacity in our dog kennels at LCAC and events like these are so important for helping to draw attention to the many amazing pets waiting at the shelter for their new homes," said Lynette Bodmer, Animal Services Supervisor at League City Animal Care. "We invite anyone who has been considering expanding their family with a furry friend to stop by the shelter during this event. You might just fall in love!"
