Yucaipa Animal Placement Society (YAPS) to Participate in Bissell Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” National Adoption Event

Special Reduced Fees for Dogs and Cats
Puppies and Kittens Excluded

Yucaipa, CA, [Date] – Yucaipa Animal Placement Society (YAPS) is excited to announce its participation in the Bissell Pet Foundation’s renowned “Empty the Shelters” National Adoption Event, aimed at finding loving homes for pets in shelters across the nation. From October 1 to October 15, YAPS will offer special reduced adoption fees for all adoptable dogs and cats (excluding puppies and kittens) in an effort to help them find their forever families.

During this event, YAPS will provide all adoptable pets with essential health services, including spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping, ensuring they are ready for their new homes. This initiative reflects YAPS’ ongoing commitment to animal welfare and its mission to reduce the number of homeless pets in the community. All members of the household must be present during adoption meetings and if there are dogs in the house, bring them too!

Adoption Fee Reductions
Adoption fees for eligible dogs and cats will be significantly reduced to $50 for dogs and $25 for cats for this limited-time event. Puppies and kittens are excluded from the reduced fees, but adult pets are often overlooked and make wonderful companions.
