8. We will hold obedience classes and socialization classes of dogs & puppies.
9. We will spay & neuter dogs, puppies, cats & kittens before adoption takes place.
10. We will vaccinate all dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in the shelter
11. We will microchip animals in the shelter before adoption.
12. We will start with volunteers
13. We will continue our efforts to acquire grant-funding & other resources for our on-going needs.
Facts on spaying & neutering:
1. You can spay & neuter a cat or dog as early as 4 months old, or 5 pounds in weight. Check with your veterinarian.
2. Neuter male dogs & cats before bad habits start-marking territory, running off, aggressiveness & more!
3. Spay females before they come into heat as the majority are "caught" at this time & produce many offspring!
4. One female cat & her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years!
5. One female dog & her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in 7 years!
From PETCO: 'Every year in the U.S. 3-4 million homeless dogs & cats are needlessly put to death-that is one nearly every eight seconds!' For each dog or cat in an animal shelter, 100 have to be put to death to make room for more!
Spay & Neuter-Save lives!
