ABOUT EUTHANASIA
Every day is the same. The doors open. Strangers slowly walk past the holding pens, stopping to look briefly at each animal. Dozens of eyes return their glance. Confused, frightened eyes, all begging for a moment of attention. A few poke their noses through the stainless steel gates- a sniff of a hand, a friendly lick of a finger-anything to beat the odds and find a home. |
| This year, thousands of dogs will end up at our animal shelter. Some are lost and have no tags to identify them. Some are strays, picked up from the streets. Many are the result of unplanned litters. Sadly, some of them will never find homes and will have to put to sleep.
These statistics are alarming. But the real tragedy is that most of this could be avoided if all pet owners would do two things:
- First, register your pet. Without tags there's no way to locate you if your pet is found.
- Second, spay or neuter your pet. You'll not only help to reduce the thousands of pets put to sleep each year, but you will help your pet have a healthier life.
For more information, please contact us or your veterinarian. Thousands of pets are dying for the chance to come home. With your help, they won't need to. |
