Each day, over 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in the US, and because of overpopulation, more than 3.7 million animals are still being euthanized each year in shelters across the country. You can help! Please Spay/Neuter your pets.

On any given day in the United States, an estimated 70 million homeless dogs and cats are struggling to survive.

They are a result of people’s failure to spay and neuter their animal companions, allowing them to bring more animals into a world that already has more dogs and cats than there are loving homes for them. Some were abandoned, and many are the offspring of abandoned animals whose guardians moved and left them behind or dropped them by the side of the road when they could no longer care for them or just didn’t want them anymore.

Because of a growing number of animals, the shelters are FULL and sadly, must turn them away. More and more are ending up on the streets, where they reproduce and create even more homeless animals. Dogs and cats are domesticated animals who depend on humans to meet their needs for food, water, veterinary care, shelter, and safety and cannot survive for long on their own.
They freeze in the winter and suffer from heat exhaustion when temperatures soar in the summer. Puddles of water they find to drink from can be frozen in winter or non-existent in the summer and are often polluted with motor oil, pesticides, and other dangerous substances. The lives of homeless dogs and cats are spent in fear and discomfort and then finally cut short.

Texas State Law now requires the shelter to spay/neuter all animals before they leave the shelter. State Law also requires that all animals ages four months or older have a current rabies vaccination administered by a licensed veterinarian.
