What's Happening?
ACCT Philly, in collaboration with the BISSELL Pet Foundation, is offering a special pet adoption campaign called 'Empty the Shelter.' This initiative allows individuals to adopt pets aged six months and older for just $10. The campaign is designed to encourage more adoptions and help reduce the number of animals in shelters. It runs through October 15, 2025, providing an opportunity for potential pet owners to bring home a new furry friend at a significantly reduced cost.
Why It's Important?
This campaign is crucial in addressing the issue of overcrowded animal shelters, which can lead to increased stress and health issues for the animals. By offering reduced adoption fees, the initiative aims to increase the adoption rate, thereby freeing up space in shelters and providing more animals with loving homes. It also highlights the importance of pet adoption as a means to combat the problem of stray and abandoned animals in urban areas.
