While there are responsible breeders out there, many more backyard breeders or people are not watching out for their pets. This results in many unwanted animals and, unfortunately, a high kill rate in some areas of California. In an effort to stop this waste of life and resources, there is a bill out requiring the Spay and Neuter of most animals ages 6 months and older. Please help support this so we can end the need for kill shelters.
Each year, over 250 million dollars is spent on housing and euthanizing homeless dogs and cats in California. Approximately 1 million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them (500,000+) are euthanized (killed) simply because there are not enough homes. STOP THE CYCLE!
