BTAA takes part in 'Empty the Shelter' event

| May 4, 2024 1:00 AM

PONDERAY — To help animals find homes faster and create space in its animal care center, Better Together Animal Alliance is waiving adoption fees on all adult pets as part of the Bissell Pet Foundation Empty the Shelters event.

The event is ongoing through May 15.

“While our staff do a great job caring for the cats and dogs in our animal care center, the best place for them is in homes,” said Mandy Evans, BTAA executive director. “Thanks to the generosity and support from Bissell Pet Foundation, we can waive adoption fees to help them find homes faster and recoup the adoption fees we rely on.”

While not everyone is in a position to adopt a pet, there are other ways to help and support these animals during the event.

The community is invited to go online to bettertogetheranimalalliance.org/adopt and share the animal profiles to their social media accounts, or send them to friends or family members who might be a good match.

Residents are also asked to consider becoming a foster home for animals. When they register as a foster through BTAA, all food, supplies, and medical support are provided — residents just provide the home and care. To register, go online to bettertogetheranimalalliance.org/foster.
