Get them spayed or Neutered

Nearly 8 million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters each year, and approximately 4 million of those are killed annually. 

This is a staggering number of innocent lives that are lost. This number does not account for the millions more who spend many years, if not their entire lives, in a small cage waiting to be adopted.

In order to make sure that we do not contribute to this problem, it is important that owners have their pets spayed/neutered by their veterinarian or take advantage of free/low-cost options.

If you are interested in a new addition to your family, I strongly encourage you to visit a local animal shelter in order to find one. All dogs adopted from shelters already have been spayed/neutered, are up-to-date on vaccinations, and many are microchipped.

To help be a solution to this very real and unfortunate problem, please spay/neuter your pet and always choose to adopt a pet from a local shelter.
