One unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in 6 years. Only one in ten dogs born in the U.S. will find a good home. Millions of healthy adoptable dogs are euthanized each year nationwide.
Spaying and neutering prevents the death of thousands of dogs. Spay/neuter helps reduce our dog overpopulation, which places an enormous financial burden on our tax payers and local shelters.
Spaying (procedure for females) can be done at the age of 5-6 months. There are added health benefits if the procedure is performed before the dog’s first heat , which generally occurs at six months.
•Reduces the number of unwanted puppies/dogs
• Eliminates the nuisance of twice a year heat cycles
• Eliminates risk of ovarian and uterine cancer; decreases risk of mammary gland tumors
• Eliminates risk of pyometra (uterine infection) which can be fatal; recommended treatment is spaying
• Helps dogs live longer, healthier lives
Neutering (procedure for males) can be done at the age of 6 months or older, depending on breed. It is best if a dog is neutered before he displays any negative male behavior.
• Reduces the number of unwanted puppies/dogs
• Reduces aggressive behavior towards people and other dogs
• Eliminates testicular cancer; decreases chance of prostate disease
• Less desire to roam, therefore lowering the risk of being hit by a car
• Helps dogs live longer, healthier lives
