As shelters across the country face overcrowding, BISSELL Pet Foundation is aiming to "Empty the Shelters" by sponsoring a reduced fee of $50 for puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs from July 5–19.

It is normal to feel grief and mourn the loss of your beloved pet. To most pet owners, the pet is considered a member of the family. There are several stages of grief (denial, anger or guilt, bargaining, depression, and acceptance), but not everyone experiences all of them or in the same order.

Anti-Cruelty's Dog Wellness Fairs provide free canine veterinary services throughout Chicago in partnership with Cook County Animal and Rabies Control. This program is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Caerus Foundation, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and the Banfield Foundation. Leashes are required for dogs.
