Why Spay and Neuter

....

Did You Know?


• Every day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in this country while only 10,000 people are born.
  
• It's simple math - there just aren’t enough homes for all of these animals.
  
• Every year 10-12 million animals are euthanized in shelters for lack of available homes.
  
• On average, 64% of all animals taken into shelters nationwide have to be euthanized for this reason.
  
• At least 50% of the overpopulation problem is unneutered males. Females can’t do it alone.
  
• Purebreds account for 30% of all the animals in shelters. "Papers" don’t mean an animal should be bred.
  
• Breeding to "see the miracle of birth" demands that you also "see the tragic results". Visit a shelter.
  
• Animal overpopulation has reached a crisis point in this country.
  
• You personally can make a difference by spaying or neutering your pet. It is the single most important thing you can do to prevent animal cruelty!
  
  
  More Reasons:
  
  
  • Spaying or neutering your pet provides many practical benefits as well as preventing animal overpopulation:
  • your pet is more content and far less likely to roam, bite, scratch, fight, mark territory or develop uterine, mammary or testicular cancer.
  • The latest medical findings indicate that your pet, male or female, will be healthier and live a longer life if it is spayed or neutered.
