The Rockingham Harrisonburg SPCA will offer reduced fees to help pets find homes through a nationwide adoption event running July 5-19.
The Empty the Shelters event, organized by the BISSELL Pet Foundation, will include more than 300 shelters across 40 states.
The adoption fees will be $70 or less for cats, dogs and puppies, thanks to support from the foundation.
“Shelters across the country are once again at a breaking point. They are facing record intakes and limited space. Too often, loving, healthy pets are at risk, but our communities hold the key to their future,” said Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Our summer national Empty the Shelters is more than an adoption event — it’s a movement to support local shelters and save lives together.
“It’s an opportunity to change a pet’s life, and your own. Together, we can give every pet the future they deserve.”
Adoption hours are Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Extended hours are offered on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with closing extended to 7 p.m. during this event.
“We’re grateful to partner with BISSELL Pet Foundation to connect more animals with families,” said Huck Nawaz, executive director of RHSPCA. “The need has never been greater, and every adoption truly makes a difference.”
The Rockingham Harrisonburg is located at 2170 Old Furnace Road in Harrisonburg.
