Did You Know?
Each day in the United States, 70,000 kittens and puppies are born while only 10,000
humans are born. That's a 7 to 1 ratio.
An unspayed female cat, her mate, and her offspring can produce 14 million kittens in
nine years, and an unspayed female dog, her mate, and her offspring can produce 12
million puppies in the same amount of time.
Even if there were thousands of foster homes and several animal shelters in the area,
there wouldn't be enough homes for all of the animals born. SPAYING OR
NEUTERING YOUR COMPANION ANIMAL IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.
Over 25% of all animals in shelters are purebred.
It cost taxpayers in our area thousands of dollars each year to manage this problem.
Local animal control is allowed to keep lost animals only three days because of
overcrowding and cost. If homes aren't found, the animals are then euthanized.
Over the years, in the area which we serve, hundreds of dogs and cats have been killed
simply because there were no homes for them. Most were put to sleep. Others died
from starvation, accidents and freezing to death. This terrible waste of lives can easily be
ended by reducing the number of puppies and kittens being born.
SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS.
You'll not only be saving lives but your pet will receive many health and behavioral
benefits.
