Empty the Shelters: Fee-Waived Adoptions for Large Dogs
2026-05-03 11:00 - 2026-05-13 19:00 UTC | The Animal Foundation, 655 N Mojave Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89101, United States
BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is once again prompting a nationwide call for adoption through its Empty the Shelters event.
During our participation from May 3-13, all large adult dogs (30+ pounds and 6 months or older) will have their adoption fees waived, thanks to the support of BISSELL Pet Foundation.
Why It Matters
“Ten years ago, Empty the Shelters began with a simple goal—to bring awareness to the incredible cats and dogs in shelters,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “Today, it has grown into a national effort that has helped nearly 400,000 pets find families. Those adoptions have opened space for other pets to enter shelters, provided relief for shelter teams, and created the heartwarming joy that only adoption can bring.”
At The Animal Foundation, hundreds of large dogs are waiting for a second chance. By adopting during Empty the Shelters, you’ll not only change the life of one pet—you’ll help us open kennel space for another animal in need.

About Empty the Shelters
Since its inception in 2016, Empty the Shelters has helped nearly 400,000 pets find loving homes, making it the largest funded adoption event in the country. The program partners with more than 6,025 shelters and rescues across the U.S. and Canada to help pets find loving homes.

The 23rd Annual Best in Show
2026-04-26 11:00 - 13:00 UTC | Thomas & Mack Center, 4505 S Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV, 89154, United States
Every year, Best in Show puts 20+ of The Animal Foundation’s most adoptable dogs in the spotlight—not just to find them loving homes, but to showcase the incredible diversity of breeds that come through our doors. While many assume we only have a few breeds at the shelter, the reality is that thousands of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities come through our doors each year.
But this event is about more than just the dogs walking the teal carpet. As our biggest fundraiser, Best in Show helps us care for the other 20,000+ animals who need us—providing lifesaving medical treatment for sick and injured pets, extra time for long-stay dogs, and second chances for those who need them most. Only 0.001% of our dogs are selected to compete, but 100% of the proceeds make a difference.
Join us for a day of heartwarming adoptions, inspiring stories, and a celebration of the incredible dogs waiting for their forever homes. Only one dog will be crowned Best in Show, but all the participants will be available for adoption during the event. Because when you support Best in Show, you’re helping shelter pets get their second chance.
We need Best in Show fosters! You can fill out the Best in Show 2026 foster application here.
Tickets and sponsorships are now available for Best in Show 2026! You can view and purchase them here.

The Foster Field Trip Coffee Break
2026-02-02 11:00 - 2026-02-28 19:00 (America/Denver) | The Animal Foundation, 655 N Mojave Rd., Las Vegas, NV, 89101, United States
Every day, a handful of dogs in our care need a break from the shelter environment more than others. The Foster Field Trip Coffee Break gives those high-priority pups a short, meaningful outing — and a chance to shine outside the kennel.
Each day in February, we’ll select 3–5 dogs for a quick coffee date field trip. These dogs benefit most from getting out into the real world, where they can relax, decompress, and show off their true personalities.
Participants will take one dog at a time on a short outing for:
A coffee stop (yes, there’s a Puppuccino involved)
Real-world photos and short videos
A chance to capture their unique personality outside the shelter
We provide everything you need — including a $5 Starbucks gift card, car protection, clean-up supplies, and safety gear — so you can focus on giving a dog a great break and helping us share their story.
The content you capture helps us market these dogs more effectively and increases their chances of finding a foster or adoptive home.
Meet Today’s Coffee Dates
Ready to go?
Stop by the Field Trip Window in our adoptions lobby to start the adventure.

Experience the joy of giving back while taking the wheel of luxury.
Join The Animal Foundation and Team Lincoln for a special Embrace for Good event where your test-drive helps shelter pets in need. During this one-day event, every valid test-drive of a Lincoln vehicle will generate a $35 donation to The Animal Foundation, with contributions totaling up to $7,500.

The event takes place on Saturday, December 27, from 9:00am to 2:00pm at Team Lincoln, located at 5446 Drexel Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89130.
