Stopping pet overpopulation starts with you!
In the U.S. as a whole, there are an estimated 6-8 million homeless animals entering animal shelters every year. Through spaying or neutering your pet, you can help your dog, cat, rabbit or other pet live a happier, healthier, and longer life.
Prevent a litter – it’s good for you
Spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate, companions.
Neutered cats are less likely to spray and mark territory.
Spaying a female pet eliminates its heat cycle. Females in heat often cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to bite. Unaltered animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than those that have been spayed or neutered.
Prevent a litter – it’s good for your pet
Spayed and neutered pets live longer, healthier lives.
Spaying female pets eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer.
Neutering male pets reduces the incidence of prostate cancer.
Neutered animals are less likely to roam and fight.
Prevent a litter – it’s good for the community
Communities spend millions of dollars to control and eliminate unwanted animals. Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks. Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
