Fort Worth Animal Care & Control has been invited to participate in the Empty the Shelters Adoption event, sponsored by the BISSELL Pet Foundation, on May 1-15. Adoption fees are waived and adoptions can be made at all four City adoption centers.

Why it’s important: More than 350 shelters in 45 states are participating in this year’s Empty the Shelters event, dedicated to ending pet homelessness.

In the eyes of a pet, there’s nothing more important than having a family love you. Fort Worth shelter pets are deserving of that forever love.

The shelter is committed to matching wonderful, adoptable pets with loving families. Staff will be available at all four adoption locations to help families find the right pet.

Bonus: All animals included in the Empty the Shelters promotion are microchipped and spayed/neutered to prevent further pet homelessness.

Check out all four City of Fort Worth adoption locations:

  • Chuck & Brenda Silcox Animal Care & Adoption Center, 4900 Martin St.
  • North Animal Campus, 351 Hillshire Drive.
  • PetSmart Adoption Center Hulen, 4800 S.W. Loop 820 (I-20 at Hulen).
  • PetSmart Adoption Center Alliance, 2901 Texas Sage Trail (I-35W at Heritage Trace).

What they’re saying: “BISSELL Pet Foundation's Empty the Shelters is proven to make a lifesaving difference,” said Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “This is a very difficult time for shelters across the country, with increasing owner surrenders due to the housing crisis and inflation, as well as slowed adoption rates.”
