BACKGROUND

 

This action will authorize an Empty the Shelters Grant Acceptance Agreement between Bissell Pet Foundation and the City of Dallas, Dallas Animal Services for the reimbursement of a portion of the cost for preparing animals for adoption during their virtual Empty the Shelter event.  The event is traditionally held across the country within animal shelters on the same day and promoted by Bissell Pet Foundation.

 

Due to the pandemic, this year’s event was transitioned to a COVID-19 virtual adoption event. Bissell Pet Foundation helped to promote the event and drive adoptions at participating shelters and is providing funding to help cover a portion of the care and medical costs to make the adopted animals ready for their new homes.
