Because thousands of children don't die in our country on a daily basis because there are no homes for them.

However, because there are people who think little Fifi would make a great momma, and so and so wants a puppy - there are thousands of completely sound, healthy puppies dying in the shelter daily. Because some shelters are so overrun they don't have the means to do it humanely, either.

Just because YOUR puppies won't go to the shelter doesn't stop the other puppies already in the shelter from dying. It's all about "Help control the pet population; have your pet spayed or neutered."
