KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Those looking to bring a 4-legged friend into their homes this holiday season will have the perfect time to do so this weekend.
The Bissell Pet Foundation is holding their “Empty the Shelters Holiday Hope” event on December 13th and 14th at participating locations throughout the country.
Shelters will be offering free or reduced rate pet adoptions for a number of cats, dogs, and other animals.
About 50 Michigan shelters will be taking part and according to Bissell’s website, “All potential adopters are screened by qualified adoption counselors at every participating shelter to ensure each pet is matched with the right family.”
Some shelters do require that the future pet owner is pre-approved, so it’s best to call ahead or go to bissellpetfoundation.org for more information.
Since May of 2016 almost 30,000 pets have been adopted in 33 states and Canada through the Empty the Shelters events.
