pets and that number increases by the day! Each year, we are learning how to better
support our growing network of 4,783 partner shelters in all 50 states to reduce the homeless
pet population. We continue to reach new areas of the country with our grant funding.
Together, we are helping to change the outlook for deserving animals who otherwise would
not have a chance.

                                             BISSELL Pet Foundation is embarking on a new initiative to create change in
help bissell pet foundation make an impact

                                             communities where the outlook for homeless pets is bleak. All too often, pet owners
                                             can’t afford or get access to spay and neuter, resulting in unwanted litters.
                                             Consequently, shelters are overflowing, often in places where there is no foot traffic
                                             for adoption. We’ve witnessed this cycle firsthand in our work with St. Landry Parish

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     bissell pet foundation 2019 impact report

                                             Over the past few years, BPF has been privileged to support and work alongside
                                             Director Stacey Alleman McKnight and the SLPAC team. SLPAC consistently houses
                                             and cares for more than 300 animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. Every

                                             day, Stacey and her team rescue starving and neglected animals, respond to injuries
                                             and emergencies, and take in surrenders. It never ends. Cathy and the BPF team have
                                             visited SLPAC on several occasions and have been overwhelmed by the need, and
                                             beyond impressed by Stacey’s compassion for every animal in her care.

                                             BPF knew we needed to go deeper than our typical grant funding in places like
                                             SLPAC, and as a result, launched Rescue Road with a goal to relocate, and spay
                                             and neuter for lasting impact.

                                             In September, Cathy and the BPF team headed to SLPAC with a group of trusted
                                             shelter partners to start the program by selecting 120 dogs to relocate for adoption in
                                             Michigan. The Rescue Road team tested for heartworm, vaccinated and microchipped
                                             the pets before transport to Animal Rescue Corps near Nashville, where they were
                                             lovingly cared for while they de-stressed and received a clean bill of health. Many of
                                             the pets have already been adopted, including a beautiful black lab momma and her
                                             12 puppies who spent time at BISSELL Headquarters while they regained health.

                                         their unique challenges and make a more significant

                                         Percible was freed from the bag, he was unable to
                                         walk; he was panting heavily, covered with maggots,                                 Tim Purrton         Cruiser         Peanut          Digit                   Keys                     DK                     Paulie
