GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Empty the Shelters day by the BISSELL Pet Foundation is returning in hopes of finding more than 2,000 pets forever homes by waiving adoption fees for cats and dogs.
The Grand Rapids-based nonprofit will pay all adoption fees at 65 shelters and rescue organizations around the state on Saturday in order to encourage people to choose adoption first.

New pet owners will only be responsible for the licensing fee, which costs $7 to $12.
