"It's a program called Empty the Shelters," said Michaela Schommer with the Hutchinson Animal Shelter. "If you know anything about Bissell, the brand, Bissell is, most people know of them as the vacuums, Bissell Vacuums and Carpet Cleaners. They have a nonprofit branch, a foundation that they formed, and they fundraise and they donate to animal welfare organizations nationally. The Bissell Foundation is an incredible animal welfare foundation, and we appreciate them. They are currently sponsoring, for any shelter that's participating right now through July 31st, sponsoring portions of our adoption fees, which is allowing then shelters to be able to reduce those adoption fees. And we are doing all of our dogs, whether it's a dog, adult dog or a puppy or senior, at a flat $50 adoption fee. And then all of our cats, whether it's an adult or kitten, at a $25 adoption fee."
