The Importance of Spaying/Neutering Your Dog

1. There is an extreme overpopulation of dogs/cats in the U.S. today.

2. You can’t be sure what will happen to the puppies born after they leave your care.

Only 1 in 5 puppies and kittens stay in their original home for his/her natural lifetime. The other 4 are abandoned to the streets or end up at a shelter. Source: The Humane Society of the United States.

3. Breeding animals for profit is WRONG and UNFAIR to the animal.

Approximately 25% of the animals in shelters are purebred. This is why we are FIRMLY AGAINST BREEDING animals. Source: The Fund for Animals—Kim Sturla

4. It costs taxpayers money and destroys creatures who have done nothing wrong.

Over $2 billion is spent annually by local governments to shelter - and ultimately destroy 8-10 million adoptable cats and dogs because of a shortage of homes.
