(LAFAYETTE, La) – Pets can be a wonderful addition to a family. Harvard Health lists some amazing benefits to owning a pet, including the potential to reduce stress (both mental and physical), lowering risk of developing high blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and plenty more. Now it’s even more affordable to get started with the Fall ‘Empty The Shelters’ event at Lafayette Animal Shelter and Care Center.
Now through October 15th, 2025, adoption fees are waived for dogs and cats. All adopted pets will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. In an effort to reduce the rate of euthanizing pets, events like this can connect families with furry friends. Humane Animal Partners lists the benefits of adopting versus purchasing a pet from a breeder. From lower costs, support system, and being able to give an animal a fresh start, you’re helping to reduce the animal population in a humane way.
We have a dog for every family here. And now through Oct 15th they are all FEE WAIVED thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell Who’s your favorite out of this bunch? #EmptyTheShelters
