"The end of all knowledge should be virtuous action."

-- Phillip Sydney
WHY SPAY OR NEUTER?

Find out WHY it is the good and right thing to do!
for your pet, for you, for your community and for all the homeless animals in shelters hoping for a new adoptive home!

There are still many misconceptions and myths surrounding spay/neuter, and breeding animals is a bigger financial and moral responsibility than most people realize.

Did you know that tragically, it is estimated that millions of pets that could have made wonderful companions are euthanized each year in our nation?

Did you know that there are many unwanted and abandoned purebred animals in shelters or with breed rescue groups?

Were you aware that spaying and neutering your pet provides so many positive benefits - including helping your pet live a happier and healthier life. Spaying or neutering may also help to address behavioral problems.

And last, but not least, "just one litter" is "just an old wives tale" and your baby can indeed have babies of her own!
