About
5 million cats and dogs were euthanized in shelters last year in
the United States. Over 19,000 of those animals were within a 100-mile
radius of our clinic.
No matter how hard shelters work to find homes for our community's
homeless pets, they will simply never find 19,000 new homes each
year. The only way to reduce the number of unwanted animals that
enter our local shelters is to prevent them from becoming homeless
in the first place. |
