For People Who Want to Breed Their Pet
Please click on the link above to determine if you are fully prepared in assuming responsibilities for creating more dogs (or cats).
Pet population statistics are provided below. Please be aware that any un-neutered pet can be adding to the over-population problem.
Female pets not spayed are at an increased risk of hormone related problems: mammary tumors, behavior problems or a life-threatening uterine infection called Pyometra. Male pets not neutered are at an increased risk of prostate disease, testicular cancer, and increased behavior problems such as increased aggression, inappropriate urination/defecation, humping, running away to find a mate and subsequently hit by a car.
Help Stop U.S. Birthrate of 5,500 Pets Per Hour
Every hour in the United States, more than 2,000 dogs and 3,500 cats are born, compared to 415 humans. The yearly statistics include more than 17 million dogs and 30 million cats. Add these animals to an existing pet population of 54 million dogs and 56 million cats and the total exceeds one billion!
Earlier puberty, multiple births and briefer pregnancies make dogs and cats far more prolific than humans.
Animal care and control agencies do their best to find loving, responsible owners for as many pets as possible, but there are simply not enough homes for all these animals.
American Human estimates more than 15 million healthy, friendly dogs and cats will be euthanized this year simply because they are "unwanted."
You can save lives and help solve the pet overpopulation tragedy by neutering or spaying your pet. This will reduce the number of dogs and cats being euthanized by reducing the number of pets being born.
