Why spay or neuter your pet?
Reduce the number of homeless pets euthanized.
Improve your pet's health.
Reduce unruly behavior.
Save on the cost of pet care.
When can I spay or neuter my pet?
The procedure can be performed safely as early as 8 weeks of age. No excuse about waiting.
But fixing my animal cost to much!
Most towns have animal shelters/rescues that provide low-cost under $100 maybe even free spay and neuter clinics. No excuse.
Can't I allow my purebred or mixed breed have at least one litter? My pet has a wonderful personality or a lovely appearance!
No. There simply are not enough homes for the puppies or kittens you produce. Even if you have homes planned there is no guarantee those puppies or kittens will keep those homes after all people can change their minds because the puppy/kitten is too much work or peoples's lifestyle or financial situation changes. You and your pet will be much happier not producing litters and adding to the problem of homeless pet overpopulation.
I don't have a pet. So not my problem!
It is your problem ."All of us are affected by animal overpopulation. Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to shelter and care for stray, abandoned and unwanted pets. Much of that money is spent to euthanize these animals when homes cannot be found. Human health is threatened by the danger of transmittable diseases (including rabies), animal bites and attacks. Property may be damaged and livestock killed when pets roam in search of food. Animal waste is proving to be a serious environment hazard, fouling yards and parks. It is only when all of us assume the responsibility for pet overpopulation that we will see any decrease in the problem." -American Humane Association
So do yourself, the world and your pet a favor SPAY OR NEUTER . Thank You.
