According to a press release, the nonprofit wished to thank frontline workers for their role in fighting COVID-19 and to bring some relief to the pressure they are facing.

Adoption event

The Halifax Humane Society will be participating in the Bissell Pet Foundation's emergency "Empty the Shelters" adoption event, to be held Aug. 16-22.

HHS will be offering $5 adoption fees for adult cats and dogs, as well as $5 fees for senior dogs. This emergency event, according to a press release, is dedicated to ensuring large dogs weighing 40 pounds or more, cats six months or older and dogs 7 years old or older are adopted into loving homes.

“Our nation’s animal shelters are struggling in the face of overcrowding, which makes BISSELL Pet Foundation’s ‘Empty the Shelters’ events an even more critical tool to ensure our shelter partners can find loving families for the pets who so often get overlooked,” said Cathy Bissell, founder of Bissell Pet Foundation, in the press release. “Shelters are being faced with tough decisions, such as euthanizing healthy, wonderful pets. We hope this event and the facilitated animal transports can provide some much-needed relief for shelters in dire need of support.”
