Help save lives through spay and neuter!
- Each year about 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters. Of the 3 million cats and dogs euthanized in shelters, approximately 2.4 million (80%) are healthy and treatable and could have been adopted into new homes. Help STOP shelter overpopulation and get your animals spayed & neutered. Be part of the SOLUTION and not the PROBLEM!!!
