Programs & Activities
Program 1
$3.5MEmpty the Shelters BPF facilitates pet adoptions by organizing and funding Empty the Shelters through national and regional events. Empty the Shelters gives adopters the ability to take home a spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped pet for a reduced fee at hundreds of shelters throughout the country. More than 97,740 dogs and cats were adopted through these events in 2024.
Program 2
$536KDonor Designated BPF supports specific projects and initiatives outside of regular programming to amplify our ability to save lives.
Program 3
$3.3MFix the Future BPF addresses the lack of access to spay/neuter for both shelters and pet owners through Fix the Future. BPF pays contracted veterinarians directly and connects them with approved Host Organizations (animal shelters, designated spay/neuter facilities, etc.) in regions where spay/neuter is needed.This program not only prepares shelter pets for adoption but also provides crucial services to community-owned pets through clinics. In 2024, more than 98,650 pets were "fixed" through this program.
Program 4
$561KCrisis & Disaster - BPF's Animal Incident Management (AIM) team responds when pets' lives are at stake through pre-event planning, post-event recovery, animal search and rescue, shelter support, transport and mass care/humanitarian efforts. In 2024, AIM responded to 45 crises and natural disasters, saving countless pets who would not have had a chance without us.
