MARQUETTE — BISSELL Pet Foundation is once again aiming to Empty the Shelters across the country, by appointment only, now through Sunday.

People can adopt a pet from one of the 120+ participating organizations for $25 (or less) and BPF will sponsor the remainder of the adoption fee. At the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter, dogs will be $25 to adopt and cats and small animals will be free. This includes their spay or neuter, vaccines, health check, microchip and more.

Adoptable pets can be found on the UPAWS website or its Facebook page. Once an online application (link below) is submitted for a pet, shelter staff will work with potential adopters to schedule an in-person appointment with social distancing in mind.
