Rogers Animal Services Offers Free Adoptions for Community

Stronger together Rogers Animal Services joined forces with the Bissell Pet Foundation and Dogtopia to offer zero-fee adoptions for all dogs and puppies from May 2-13.

• Rogers Animal Services was one of the more than 350 shelters to participate in the Empty the Shelters event.

Welcome Home: Pets adopted as part of the event were fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered at a discounted cost.

• If you’re interested in adopting, give the shelter a call at (479) 621-1197 or take a look at all of the pets available for adoption on their website.

What they’re saying: “Shelters are calling me daily and BISSELL Pet Foundation is feeling the burden of overcrowding. With the euthanasia of homeless dogs up 22% in just the first quarter of 2022 alone, we knew we had to act quickly to help at-risk pets,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Empty the Shelters is the largest funded adoption event in the country.”

From the heart: Adoption fees were covered by the Bissell Pet Foundation, a foundation that focuses on providing support to animal welfare organizations which includes vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neuter services as well as crisis and disaster response.

• BPF has provided a second chance for almost 140,000 pets in the U.S. and Canada since the event began in 2016.
