SPAY / NEUTER
Approximately 9.6 million animals are put to death each year, according to the American Humane Association. And that is just in the U.S.
Please make spaying/neutering your pet a priority. And please give serious thought to adopting a homeless animal instead of purchasing one from a breeder. Good, loving, deserving pets are killed each year instead of being taken to a loving home. And most of them are just as cute and lovable and trainable and devoted as an animal with papers.

Many people tell me they could never foster because they’d get too attached. Do they think I don’t????? I have shed many a tear when it was time to say goodbye, but I was ALWAYS involved in the adoption, and I know where all of my babies are. Most of the adopters are very nice about letting me check up. Some send me pictures and letters. Read more
