ST. LOUIS — Animal shelters across the county and right here in St. Louis are struggling with an influx of animals, but the Bissell Pet Foundation is trying to ease that burden.

On Wednesday, the Bissell Pet Foundation launched its biggest Empty the Shelters adoption event with more than 400 organizations across the country. As part of the event, most of the adoption fees will be covered for fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed or neutered pets.

"Thanks to [Bissell Pet Foundation], adopters pay no more than $50 to adopt their new best friend who comes home spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped," the Empty the Shelters page said.

Here are some of the local shelters participating in the event.
