Espanola Humane Partners with BISSELL Foundation for “Empty the Shelters” Adoption Event

Española Valley Humane Society 108 Hamm Parkway, Española, United States

Espanola Humane is honored to be a part of the BISSELL Pet Foundation’s national effort to find homes for pets this spring, reducing fees for its Empty the Shelters adoption event through Wednesday, May 15.

• 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 interested adopters can find more details online at www.espanolahumane.org
• 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."
