According to numbers by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) an estimated 6 to 8 million cats and dogs enter shelters in the United States. The source of these animals entering the Shelter system is not mainly from stray animals, but shockingly the result of owned pet animals reproducing uncontrollably.
Of the animals entering the shelter an estimated 2.7 million cats and dogs are euthanized annually due to the lack of space and resources available to properly care, provide and maintain their quality of life.

Spaying and neutering of pets also has other major health benefits that add to improving your pet’s overall well being. These benefits include: eliminating common unwanted behaviors that are related to the pet’s reproductive cycles and most importantly preventing certain physical conditions such as neoplasia (tumors) and infections (pyometras) that have a high incidence in non sterilized pets.
