$45 for 45lb: BISSELL Empty the Shelters™ Spring Adoption Event!
Empty the Shelters™ Spring Adoption Event happening May 1–7, 2025!
Looking for a new furry best friend? Join us this spring as Cincinnati Animal CARE partners with BISSELL Pet Foundation to bring you Empty the Shelters™, a nationwide adoption celebration running May 1–7. We’re offering special reduced fees to help even more cats and dogs find loving homes:
- “$45 for 45”: Adult dogs 45 lbs and up are just $45
- Adult cats (over 6 months): only $25!
- NEW! Foster-to-Adopt option available
Why Now?
Spring often means fewer foster homes and more large dogs on site—so we’re shining the spotlight on our “big” pups with this special rate. Thanks to the generosity of BISSELL Pet Foundation, you can open your heart (and your home) without breaking the bank.
“Partnerships like Empty the Shelters™ are vital,” says Shelter Director Meaghan Colville. “This week gives our biggest dogs the boost they need to find forever families.”
