Rogers Animal Services is one of more than 345 organizations participating in BISSELL Pet Foundation's Fall Empty the Shelters campaign. The event is designed to raise awareness of the over population of animals and place deserving pets in loving homes. Our nation’s animal shelters are in crisis due to increased owner surrenders and stray intakes resulting in spiking post-pandemic euthanasia rates across the country. Animal intakes at both public and private shelters are expected to reach a 3-year high this year, and adoptions or returns to owners are not keeping pace, according to the Shelter Animals Count database. With lives on the line, BISSELL Pet Foundation is once again prompting a national call for adoption with its Fall National “Empty the Shelters” reduced-fee adoption event.
