Empty Shelters = Lives Saved

Adoption saves two lives – the adopted pet and the one who takes their place in the shelter.

As the nation’s largest funded adoption event, Empty the Shelters helps homeless pets find families by making adoption affordable for prospective pet owners. We do this by supporting participating organizations with reimbursement for each pet adopted.

This lifesaving reduced-fee adoption event is a Win-Win-Win: 

• Adopters win because BPF helps offset adoption fees, making it possible to take home a spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped pet who’s ready to be loved! DAS adoption fees are waived. 
• Shelters win because the event brings awareness and foot traffic, helping pets get adopted.
• And, most importantly, every pet wins by finding
  a loving home!
