• Española Humane will participate May 1-15, at its main shelter, 108 Hamm Parkway, Española, N.M., offering fee-waived adoption fees for adult cats and dogs, and $25 for kittens and puppies and fee-waived adoptions on all adult pets. The adoption fees are the same at the shelter’s mobile adoption events at PetSmart on Friday, May 3 and May 10; Rowley Farmhouse Ales on Saturday, May 4 and Ford Quick Lane on Saturday, May 11.

• All pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped and have age-appropriate vaccinations and tests

BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event is the largest funded adoption event in the country. This lifesaving event began in 2016 with a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. More than 226, 000 pets have found loving homes since its inception. “Empty the Shelters” is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 742 animal welfare organizations in 49 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.

"Our nation’s animal shelters are facing a capacity crisis and need your help now. Adoptions have slowed while a surge in owner surrenders due to families facing economic and housing challenges has left tens of thousands of highly adoptable pets desperate to find homes," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. "Our Spring National ‘Empty the Shelters' will support the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters in this critical time. Opening your home to a shelter pet saves a life and creates lifesaving space to help another pet in need."

Rowley Farmhouse Ales hosts Pulls for Pups, Adoptions

Rowley Farmhouse Ales 1405 Maclovia Street, Santa Fe

On Saturday, May 4, Española Humane will host a special adoption event at Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, marking the kickoff of their yearlong Pulls for Pups fundraising venture.

From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., animal lovers can join us at Rowley Farmhouse Ales, located at 1405 Maclovia St., Santa Fe, for a tap takeover event where a portion of the proceeds will benefit the shelter. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of beverages while supporting a great cause.

During the event, attendees can meet and adopt adorable kittens, puppies, and adult dogs that are looking for their forever homes. Adoption fees for kittens and puppies are just $25, while adult pets are fee waived. All adopted pets will go home with a sample bag of pet food and treats, in addition to being spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to join loving families.

Rowley Farmhouse Ales has selected Española Humane as the recipient of their yearlong support for an animal charity. As part of this support, a special keg with a designated tap, featuring a carved dog head, will be periodically switched out to continue benefiting the shelter.

For those interested in adopting, available pets can be viewed online at espanolahumane.org.

In addition to adoptions, the event will provide information on foster and volunteer opportunities with Española Humane, as well as other ways to support the organization.

Join us on May 4 for a fun-filled event that supports a wonderful cause. May the fourth be with you as you find your new furry friend!
