Get your pet spayed or neutered.
When you do, only are you doing your part to end the suffering of helpless dogs,
cat and other pets in our nation's shelters, but you are helping your
own pet live a longer healthier life.
Did you know
. . .
- Millions of healthy
cats, dogs and other pets are euthanized in the U.S.
each year.
- On average, about 65% of
all animals that end up in shelters are euthanized.
- Purebred animals account
for about 30% of homeless pets at shelters.

"Fixed" pets are healthier.
They . . .
-
Live longer, healthier lives.
-
Have fewer health problems, including
some that are serious.
-
Do not get uterine or ovarian cancer in
females.
-
Have fewer occurrences of breast cancer
in females.
-
Do not get testicular cancer in males.
-
Have fewer occurrences of prostate
disease in males.
|
"Fixed pets
are more sociable. They . . .
- Are more affectionate
companions.
- Are less likely to spray
and mark territory.
- Do not go into a heat
cycle, during which females can cry and attract males.
- Have fewer behavior and
temperament problems.
- Are less likely to roam,
run away or get into fights.

 You
know what they say about rabbits . . .
- Pet rabbits need "fixing" too!
- Altering rabbits can reduce
behaviors such as lunging, mounting, spraying, and boxing.
- Spaying can prevent ovarian,
mammarian and uterine cancers in females.
