Why Spay or Neuter?


1 unspayed female dog x 4 pups per litter
2 litters per year x 5 years
Each pup repeats this rate
Within 5 years = 67,000 puppies!

1 unspayed female cat x 4 kittens per litter
3 litters per year x 6 years
Each kitten repeats this rate
Within 6 years = 250,000 kittens!

​Animal control agencies and animal shelters receive approximately 10 million animals per YEAR. 

Across the nation, shelter workers are forced to kill one dog or cat every 10 SECONDS.

Every DAY in America, 20,000 dogs and cats are euthanized. 

Every YEAR, over 6 million animals across the U.S. are put down because they fell victim to being unwanted.

 In every community in every U.S. state, there are animals sitting in animal shelters waiting for homes. Only about half of those dogs and cats will ever get one. The other half will be euthanized. Please spay or neuter. IT SAVES LIVES!
