Unimaginable Statistics

As many as 10 million unwanted dogs enter shelters each year.
Only four out of every fifty dogs born will find homes that last their lifetime.
65%-85% of shelter dogs are euthanized each year.
As many as 2.9 million dogs have been euthanized annually in recent years.
Euthanasia is the #1 killer of companion animals in this country, simply because of over-population and unwanted animals.
It would take 444,000 homes just to take care of the offspring of 1000 female dogs.


PLEASE Spay and Neuter and
ADOPT if you can.

Thank you!
