Hall County residents can adopt pets at half price from July 5-19 as the local animal shelter joins the Bissell Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” campaign.
🐾 Why It Matters: Finding forever homes for shelter animals saves lives and creates loving connections for families. This discount makes pet adoption more affordable during a time when the shelter needs to reduce overcrowding.
🏠 The Details: During the two-week event, adoption fees will be significantly reduced:
- Puppies and small dogs: $42.50
- Large dogs: $12.50
- Cats and kittens: $12.50
- Senior dogs and cats: FREE
- Urgent dogs/cats: FREE
💉 Added Value: All adoptable pets come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with their first round of vaccinations—services worth hundreds of dollars.
🤝 The Partnership: The Bissell Pet Foundation works nationwide to end pet homelessness and has helped approximately one million pets find homes through programs like “Empty the Shelters.”
🕒 How To Adopt: Visit the Hall County Animal Shelter Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or browse adoptable pets on their website.
