BISSELL Pet Foundation’s 2021 Impact Report
Dear Friends,
Ten years ago, I committed to doing everything in my power to help our nation’s homeless
pets. When BISSELL Pet Foundation started, I had only begun to understand the widespread
need and suffering, yet I knew the foundation could make an impact. Whether you’ve been a
supporter and follower from those early days, or if this is your first introduction to BISSELL Pet
Foundation, I am grateful for your belief in our mission and support of our work. It takes all of
us coming together to save lives.
There have been moments along the way I will never forget: the profound sadness of entering
a puppy mill for the first time, being hugged with tears of gratitude by an overwhelmed shelter
director, hosting our first Empty the Shelters and watching pets leave with loving families,
seeing an Arkansas community line up at dawn for our free spay/neuter clinic—there are too
many to list. And, of course, there are all of the pets. I never forget the pets and their stories;
each one confirms the value of our mission. As BISSELL Pet Foundation grows, so does my
commitment. We will never turn our backs when there is a way to help.
This year, our impact has grown in ways that I would never have imagined in the beginning.
BISSELL Pet Foundation collaborates with experts in animal welfare and partners with some of
the most dedicated people you will ever meet. Together, we are finding ways to say yes when
others have said no. We are saving more lives than ever with our Empty the Shelters events
and spay/neuter grants, and have added new lifesaving initiatives with our Transport Program,
Healing Heartworm grants, and much more. I hope you will take the time to read about our
recent work inside these pages. BISSELL Pet Foundation has come so far in ten years, but we
are just hitting our stride and have the programs in place to save more pets with your support.
Ten years is a milestone, but one thing has not changed. Wonderful cats and dogs continue to
get left behind in our nation’s shelters and they deserve a second chance. You are their hope.
Please help us give them that chance. “This is what we do at BPF. We save lives.
We help shelters and the people who are
