Please Help Us Stop Pet-Overpopulation!

Spaying and neutering is the single most effective way to end pet-overpopulation and decrease the unconscionably large number of dogs and cats who must be euthanized each year. The problem exists in just about every community in the United States. About 4-5 million dogs and cats, most healthy and adoptable, are euthanized each year. But there is reason for hope: twenty years ago, the number was 15-17 million. And today there are actually animal shelters that “rescue” dogs and cats from high-overpopulation communities because there is a shortage of adoptable animals in theirs. This was something unheard of –something only dreamed about, but barely spoken of–by the volunteers and employees of every shelter who have worked so hard for so many years.
