Statistics

• Every year approximately 12 million cats and dogs are put in animal shelters.

• Roughly 30 percent of those will be found by their owners or
taken to new homes.

• That leaves 8 million that are put to death in one year.

• One year at the San Marcos Animal Shelter 3,500 animals were brought in, and only 612 were adopted.

the top ten reasons people don't fix their pets.....

Top ten reasons
1. It cost too much.
2. My pet will get fat and lazy.
3. Females should have at  least one litter before being fixed.
4. Males are not the ones having the litters.
5. We always find a good home for all of them.
6. All children should watch a litter being born.
7. The Animal Shelter will take care of them.
8. Spaying or neutering will hurt my pet.
9. My dog will not be protective anymore
10. I don't want my dog/cat to be less of a man.

Why they are wrong...
1. There are many low cost places to get your pet fixed and it is only a one time cost.
2. Only overfeeding and lack of exercise can make your pet fat and lazy.
3. Spaying your female at an early age can prevent many cancers that can develop after giving birth.
4. Unneutered males can break away or wander off and impregnate hundreds of unspayed females.
5. Every one you find a home for is taking the place of one that would’ve come from a shelter.
6. Children should be taught about birth other ways and about why over- population of cats and dogs should be prevented.
7. Animal shelters try their best but they cannot find homes for each and every animal.
8. Fixing your pet is a safe and easy operation that they recover from in a few days.
9. Spaying and neutering does not affect the natural intinct to protect owners and homes.
10. Neutering will not change a pet’s personality and animals have no sense of ego.
