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 birth rates exist, there will never be enough
homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million
animals are euphemized because there are no homes for them.
What can you do to stop the suffering?
Spay and neuter your
pet! In addition to saving lives, spaying and neutering can also
drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. The idea that
pets become fat or lazy when they are spayed or neutered is a myth. Sterilized
pets lead healthier, longer lives.

Health Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
Spayed animals no longer feel the need to roam to look
for a mate. The result is that they stay home and have less chance of
being involved in traumatic accidents such as being hit by a car. They
also have a much lower incidence of contracting contagious diseases, and
get into fewer fights. In males, neutering decreases the chances of
developing prostatic disease more
