CADDO ANIMAL SERVICES TO HOLD
“EMPTY THE SHELTER” EVENT MAY 10

CADDO PARISH, LA – Caddo Parish Animal Services and Mosquito Control is excited to announce its participation in BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Summer National Empty the Shelters™ reduced-fee adoption event, taking place on Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 11am-2pm at Caddo Animal Services (1500 Monty Street, Shreveport, LA 71107). The adoption fee will be reduced from $50 to $25 got for that day only, and will include the spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations.

This event aims to find loving homes for deserving pets by offering reduced adoption fees and promoting pet adoptions. As the nation’ slargest funded adoption event, Empty the Shelters has helped more than 253,000pets find loving homes. During each nationwide event, BISSELL Pet Foundation sponsors reduced adoption fees of $50 or less to make adoption affordable for prospective pet owners.

“We are excited to partner with BISSELL and are thankful for their generosity, which allows us to create positive outcomes for the animals in our facility,” said Animal Services and Mosquito Control director TravisClark. “We hope many of our citizens take advantage of this special day and consider adding a furry friend to their families,” said Clark.

“Shelters are struggling with a variety of challenges right now, as many overcrowded and having to euthanize highly adoptable pets to make space, a tragic situation,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “BISSELL Pet Foundation’s upcoming Summer National Empty the Shelters event is a crucial opportunity for people to make a real difference in their community through adoption. Every single adoption saves a life and creates space to save another. Please adopt and give a pet a chance it might otherwise not have. If you can’t adopt, fostering saves lives when shelters are full. Deserving pets across the country are counting on all of us,” said Bissell.
