Bissell fall pet adoption event ends Tuesday at local shelters

The Bartholomew County Humane Society along with the Greensburg and Decatur County Animal Shelter are offering low-cost adoptions through Tuesday as part of the Bissell Pet Foundation’s fall Empty the Shelters event.

Through October 15th Bissell is partnering with shelters nationwide to offer adoptions for a cat or a dog for $50 or less. That will cover the cost for a fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped pet.

Bissell is partnering with 22 shelters in Indiana for the event.

The project has led to more than 282,000 pets finding homes. The foundation was started in 2011 and the Empty The Shelters events began in 2016..

The foundation does want to remind potential pet owners, that adopting a pet is a long-term commitment.

The local humane society encourages you to check out the animals available for adoption on the website, and to call the Humane Society to set up an appointment. You can go online to https://www.bartholomewhumane.org/
