All animals included in the ETS promotion will be microchipped and spayed/neutered to prevent further pet homelessness.

BISSEL said since the program began in 2016, Empty the Shelters has found homes for 37,394 pets and counting. During the COVID-19 pandemic alone, 6,231 pets were adopted during two ETS events executed by appointment only, according to BISSEL.
