Facts about Spaying and Neutering:

Spaying and neutering are safe, simple surgeries that stop animals from reproducing. Females are spayed, males are neutered.

Kittens and puppies weighting as little as two pounds can be spayed or neutered. Check with your vet.

One unneutered male can impregnate dozens of females. Therefore, it is just as important to neuter males as it is to spay females - even if you keep your pet confined or on a leash. Accidents happen when you least expect them!

Spaying and neutering reduces or eliminates the risk of certain types of cancers which can kill your pet, and are expensive to treat.

Spaying and neutering often eliminates undesirable behaviors such as fighting, spraying, and roaming. This, in turn, prevents injury and veterinary expenses.

Dogs do not become less protective of their guardians or homes as a result of being spayed or neutered.

Neutering does not make your male pet less "masculin." On the contrary - it prevents male feminizing syrdrome by preventing estrogen-secreting testicular tumors!

Spaying and neutering are not "unnatural." Having to kill adoptable pets because there are not enough homes or resources is unnatural.

Spaying or neutering is as vital to your pet's overall well-being as routine physical examinations, good nutrition, grooming, playtime and love.

Spay/Neuter is affordable. If you need financial assistance to pay for sapy/neuter services, there are programs available to help you. Contact 1-888-PETS-911 or www.PETS911.com
