We’re participating!!! Mark your calendars!

Empty the Shelters® is back starting September 18! 🐾💙

From September 18–30 BISSELL Pet Foundation is partnering with 269 shelters across the country to bring adoption fees down to just $70 or less!

Right now, shelters across the country are going through a tough time. Intakes are high, kennels are crowded, and pets are waiting. Your choice to adopt makes space and saves lives. 💙

Since 2016, more than 431,000 pets have found homes through Empty the Shelters. Could the next one be yours?

We hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day filled with rest, sunshine, and time with the people (and pets!) you love. 💛

TMAS is open today from 12–6, and we’d love to see you. Come by, walk through the kennels, meet some adoptable faces, and spend a little time with the animals who make every day brighter.

Your visit truly makes a difference. 🐾

🎉🐶 It’s the perfect Saturday for some UA football, friends, family… and shelter pets!

If you’re in town for the game, swing by Metro Animal Shelter and meet the incredible dogs and cats hoping today will be their lucky day. We promise — we’ve got the most deserving pets who would love nothing more than to help you cheer on the Tide all season long.

Stop in, say hi, and let a new best friend add a little extra Roll Tide spirit to your weekend. ❤️🐾🐘
