BISSELL Pet Foundation will participate along with more than 410 shelters in 43 states by waiving adoption fees for dogs and cats in their care. East Ridge Animal Shelter will host a special adoption event on Saturday, May 11, 2024, from 10am until 5pm located at 1015 Yale Street in East Ridge. Adoptions have slowed while a surge in owner surrenders due to families facing economic and housing challenges has left thousands of highly adoptable pets desperate to find homes.
