The Town of Apple Valley Animal Shelter is partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation for the nationwide “Empty the Shelters” adoption event, taking place May 1 through May 16, 2026.
During this limited-time event, adoption fees will be reduced to help more pets find loving homes:
- Dogs: $20
- Cats: $10 License and rabies fees may apply.
All adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. This effort helps reduce shelter overcrowding while giving animals the opportunity to find loving homes.
“Empty the Shelters is a great opportunity for our community to meet the animals in our care,” said Adriana Atteberry, Animal Services Manager. “We have so many wonderful pets ready for homes, and this event helps make adoption more accessible.”
Residents are encouraged to visit the shelter to meet available pets and learn more about the adoption process.
The Apple Valley Animal Shelter is located at 22131 Powhatan Road and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
