LaGrange Animal Shelter Receives Grant to Reduce Adoption Fees During ‘Empty the Shelters’ Event, July 5-19th

The City of LaGrange Animal Shelter is  once again partnering with the BISSELL Pet Foundation to offer reduced  adoption fees during the Summer Empty the Shelters event. The  BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending pet  homelessness, is prompting a nationwide call for adoption through its  Empty the Shelters event, taking place from July 5 to 19, 2025. The City  of LaGrange Animal Shelter will participate alongside other shelters  across the country to help pets find loving homes by waiving all fees for  animals, generously sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation.

The City of LaGrange Animal Shelter will participate from July 5-19, at  the animal shelter and offsite adoption events at Petsense, waiving all  fees for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. Visit 24petconnect.com to  view adoptable pets and learn more. 

“Every time we host Empty the Shelters, it affirms the importance of  this lifesaving program,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet  Foundation. “During the two-week event in July, tens of thousands of  pets of all kinds, many who’ve waited far too long, will find the loving  homes they deserve. Empty the Shelters has created real momentum  around adoption, helping our nation’s overcrowded shelters save more  lives. We are proud to keep expanding this life-changing effort and  grateful to everyone who makes it possible by adopting or donating.” 

“This will allow us to find homes for more animals due to the rising  number of intakes the shelter is seeing,” said Animal Services Officer  Taylor Watts. “We are extremely grateful for the help from the BISSELL  Pet Foundation.”  

Since its inception in 2016, Empty the Shelters has helped more than  323,000 pets find loving homes and is now the largest funded adoption  event in the country. The program partners with more than 815 animal  welfare organizations across 49 states and Canada. 

BISSELL Pet Foundation and City of LaGrange Animal Shelter urge  families to research the pet they are interested in adopting and the  adoption requirements. For more information on adopting or donating  to “Empty the Shelters,” visit www.bissellpetfoundation.org/empty the-shelters.
