The City of LaGrange Animal Shelter is partnering with the BISSELL Pet Foundation to offer reduced adoption fees during the Spring Empty the Shelters event. The BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is once again prompting a nationwide call for adoption through its Empty the Shelters event, running May 1-15, 2025. The City of LaGrange Animal Shelter will participate alongside 380+ shelters across 43 states to help pets find loving homes through reduced adoption fees of $70 or less, generously sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation.

The City of LaGrange Animal Shelter will participate from May 1-15, at the animal shelter and offsite adoption events at Petsense, offering $16 adoptions for cats and kittens and $18.50 for dogs and puppies. Visit 24petconnect.com to view adoptable pets and learn more.

“Every time we host Empty the Shelters, it affirms the importance of this lifesaving program,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “During the two-week event in May, tens of thousands of pets of all kinds, many who’ve waited far too long, will find the loving homes they deserve. Empty the Shelters has created real momentum around adoption, helping our nation’s overcrowded shelters save more lives. We are proud to keep expanding this life-changing effort and grateful to everyone who makes it possible by adopting or donating.”

“This will allow us to find homes for more animals due to the rising number of intakes the shelter is seeing,” said Animal Services Officer Taylor Watts. “We are extremely grateful for the help from the BISSELL Pet Foundation.”

Since its inception in 2016, Empty the Shelters has helped more than 323,000 pets find loving homes and is now the largest funded adoption event in the country. The program partners with more than 815 animal welfare organizations across 49 states and Canada.

BISSELL Pet Foundation and City of LaGrange Animal Shelter urge families to research the pet they are interested in adopting and adoption requirements. For more information on adopting or donating to “Empty the Shelters,” visit www.bissellpetfoundation.org/empty-the-shelters.
