It's World Spay Day!
Every year, millions of companion animals suffer and die in the United States and around the world. In the United States, an estimated 6-8 million homeless kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs enter animal shelters every year. About half of these animals are adopted.
Tragically, 2.7 million adoptable pets are put down. The majority of animals euthanized are healthy, sweet pets who would have made great companions. The number of homeless animals varies by state. These are not the offspring of homeless street animals; these are the puppies and kittens of pets who were accidentally or intentionally allowed to breed.
The message of World Spay Day is around spreading the word of the importance of spaying/neutering pets. By doing so, you/we become an important part of the solution!
It's tragic that millions of animals suffer and die when such a simple solution is available.
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. We can all be a of the solution by promoting the spaying/neutering of pets!
For those in Washington here's a link to Pasado Safe Haven, who is celebrating all month long
Did you know that during last year alone, the coalition of shelters and partners in the greater Puget Sound area spayed and neutered over 1,023 animals on World Spay Day!
