Every year, millions of healthy dogs and cats in the United States are euthanized simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. spaying (female) and neutering (male) helps curbs animal overpopulation and has medical and behavioral benefits for pets. By having your pets spayed or neutered, you are preventing them from having unwanted litters and producing dozens of offspring — many of whom could end up in shelters, abandoned or neglected. Currently the shelter and recues are all in a crisis mode, overflowing with abandoned animals. 

There are other benefits of spaying and neutering for pets, their families, local shelters, and the entire community. 

When female pets are spayed, they:

• Have no risk of uterine infections and ovarian or uterine cancer

• Have a greatly reduced risk of breast cancer

•  They will not have bloody discharge or attract unwanted attention from male pets

• Have no risk of accidentally getting pregnant

When male pets are neutered, they:

• Have a reduced risk of testicular cancer

• Are much less likely to spray or urine-mark in their home

• Are less likely to attempt to escape their yard or home in search of a mate

• Are unable to impregnate female pets

• Are less likely to bite or exhibit aggressive behavior (with studies showing that most dog bites on humans are from unneutered dogs)
