What do you mean by spaying & neutering?
They're ways of providing birth control for dogs & cats by removing reproductive organs. Females pets are spayed, males are neutered.
Through spaying or neutering, you can:
help your pet have a happier, healthier & longer life
help all pets by reducing the number of dogs & cats condemned to live without homes & without love.
Why Spay or Neuter?
The puppies in the picture were unwanted and left to die alone in a cardboard box. Their story had a happy ending but many do not.
Why should I know about spaying and neutering? All of us, even those who do not have pets, are affected by animal overpopulation.
Millions of dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned & unwanted pets, & millions more to destroy those that find no homes.
Health & safety are threatened by rabies, dog bites, cat scratches & car crashes.
Property may be damaged & livestock killed or injured when pets run "wild" or in packs. Yards and walkways can be fouled with urine & feces.
Did you know?
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birthrates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, millions of healthy cats, dogs, kittens and puppies face early deaths as a form of animal control.

MILLIONS OF DOGS & CATS ARE KILLED EACH YEAR - at least half in pounds and shelters, the rest by injury, poisoning, exposure, starvation & disease. Most of these victims are the unwanted offspring of family pets.
