Every single day in the United States, 10,000 human babies are born— but so are 70,000 puppies and kittens.
That’s seven times more pets than there are homes waiting for them.
The math simply doesn’t add up—and the result is heartbreaking overcrowding, suffering, and euthanasia.
“I didn’t think my indoor cat would get outside.”
“I didn’t realize she could get pregnant so young.”
“I thought I had to wait until she had one litter.”
“I didn’t know there were already so many unwanted pets.”
“I didn’t realize the surgery was so quick and safe.”
“I meant to schedule it—I just never got around to it.”
Spaying a female before her first heat almost eliminates her risk of mammary tumors and breast cancer.
Up to 80% of dogs hit by cars are intact males roaming in search of a mate.
Neutering males while they’re young can help prevent prostate problems and reduce unwanted behaviors like marking or aggression.
For your pet’s health and for the good of our community, please have your cats and dogs spayed or neutered before six months of age.
Through our SPOT Program, we make it easy and affordable to get your pet fixed. We work with mobile clinics, transport events, and trusted veterinarians to ensure every pet has access to safe, professional care.
