Looking for a pet? This Saturday will be “Empty the Shelters” day at some 24 animal shelters throughout the state, including two in southwest Michigan. The Grand Rapids-based Bissell Pet Foundation is covering the costs for all dogs and cats adopted at those shelters on Saturday, according to foundation president Cathy Bissell.

“We are hoping between 500 and 800 pets will find forever homes on Saturday, May 7th,” said Bissell.

The Al-Van Humane Society in South Haven is taking part, as is the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department Animal Control Office. For more information, go to bissellpetfoundation.org to fill out an application.
