How you can help solve the problem of pet overpopulation

September 18, 2011 by The PetWork®

From HALO Animal Rescue (Phoenix, Arizona 85017)

The problem:  Pet Overpopulation.
Almost 50,000 dogs and cats were euthanized last year in Phoenix shelters.

How you can help solve it:

Adopt
your pets from shelters (rather than pet stores, craigslist, or backyard breeders)

Volunteer
your time at your local shelter

Donate
to help cover the cost of spay/neuter, vaccinations, medical care, adoptions services for homeless animals

Spay or Neuter
all the dogs and cats in your household, even if they’re indoor-only.  Have feet, will travel!  Low-cost options are always available for those who are afraid they cannot afford it.

Commit
to your pets for their whole lives. They’re joining your family! You wouldn’t disown a family member just because you moved to a new apartment.

Advocate
for the animals who have no one else. Inform your friends and family about the pet overpopulation problem, particularly the importance of spay/neuter and adopting from shelters.
