Spay and Neuter your pet



                  One great reason to spay and neuter your pet:


      Making sure that your pet can not have puppies or kittens, you'll have peace of mind that his or her offspring will not be euthanized in an animal shelter.

       Many people are surprised to learn that nationwide more than 3 million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters. You might think that these are animals born in the streets or there is something "wrong" with them. Often they are the offspring of cherished family pets, even purebreds. Maybe someone's dog or cat got out just one time or maybe the litter was intentional, but efforts to find enough good homes failed. Still, the result is homeless animals that have to be euthanized because there are more cats and dogs entering shelters than there are people willing to provide them loving care.

       Even if you find homes for your pets puppies or kittens, that means there are fewer homes available to take in shelter pets. Spay and neuter is the only permanent 100% effective method of birth control for cats and dogs.
