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.
