Bryan Barrett sits down with Sebastian Jordan, Braelyn Nores, and Steve "The Cat Man" Edwards from Rutherford County PAWS to discuss the final days of the Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters event, happening today and tomorrow. During this special adoption drive, adoption fees are waived, making it a perfect time to find your new furry friend.

In addition to free pet adoptions, PAWS is hosting “Summerween” on Saturday, featuring food trucks, free popcorn, and family-friendly fun. They also highlight a growing number of volunteers at the shelter, but encourage even more community members to get involved and support local animals in need.
