The Bissell Pet Foundation is underwriting a one-day “Empty the Shelters” event at the Hawaii Island Humane Society’s Keaau shelter.
On Saturday, Oct. 12, adopters will have a chance to bring a pet home for the reduced fee of $25, while Bissell Pet Foundation sponsors the remaining cost.
The $25 adoption fee includes microchip, spay/neuter vaccines, dewormer, starter bag of food (as available) and a collar. It does not include the Hawaii County license fee.
“We are honored that Hawaii Island Humane Society is the first organization in the state of Hawaii to be selected by the Bissell Pet Foundation for the Empty the Shelters event,” said Hawaii Island Humane Society CEO Charles Brown.
All adoptable pets available during the event will be microchipped and spayed/neutered. BPF requires that all microchips be registered to adopters before they leave to increase the chance of pets reuniting with their owners if lost.
Remember, adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. If you’re unable to adopt, consider supporting the Bissell foundation’s work at bissellpetfoundation.org/donate.
