The Daily Freeman is reporting that the Bissell Pet Foundation is planning an Empty the Shelters event from Oct. 1, through Oct. 8, at shelters including the Ulster County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the town of Ulster and AnimalKind in Hudson. The event will allow adopters the chance to bring a pet home for a reduced fee, with the Bissell Pet Foundation pitching in the remaining adoption cost. The Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters events have helped more than 117,700 pets find homes since 2016. More than 280 shelters in 42 states will participate in the upcoming event. Participation dates and requirements for adoption during the event will vary by shelter. Information is available at bissellpetfoundation [dot] org and at the websites for individual shelters. The Ulster County SPCA is located at 20 Wiedy Drive in Ulster, and Animalkind is located at 721 Warren Street in Hudson. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman.
