Empty the Shelters event runs October 1-15. The Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center will join more than 300 shelters across 38 states to help pets find loving homes through reduced adoption fees of $70 or less, generously sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation.

LASCC will participate October 1-15 at 410 N Dugas Rd., offering free adoptions for dogs and cats. All adopted pets will be fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. Visit lafayettela.gov/lascc to view adoptable pets and learn more.
