Citrus County Animal Services Announces "Empty the Shelters" Adoption Event

Citrus County Animal Services (CCAS) will host an “Empty the Shelters” event from Thursday, 
December 1 through Friday, December 11, 2022, in partnership with BISSELL Pet Foundation. Adoption 
fees will be waived (excluding a $10 licensing fee). The adoption event aims to find adoptive homes 
for pets often overlooked in animal shelters.

“Empty the Shelters” began in 2016 to encourage more families to choose adoption. Since its 
inception, BISSELL Pet Foundation has expanded the program to reach to organizations in 45 states 
and Canada, partnering with more than 400 shelters. As a result, more than 83,000 pets have been 
adopted through “Empty the Shelters” events.
