Why Spay or Neuter your pet?

First and foremost... there are not enough homes for the existing pets! Any puppies and kittens that you raise and give away take homes from existing pets. If NOT spay and neutered, their offspring contribute to the overpopulation problem. Spaying and neutering not only saves lives, but also has other advantages for your pet.
The following advantages of spaying and neutering your pet are agreed upon by the Humane Society of the United States, the American Humane Association, the ASPCA, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Kennel Club, Animal Behaviorists/Trainers, hundreds of Purebred Rescue groups, and ALL animal shelters.
  1. You won't add to the fatal population explosion. Most purebred pets should be spayed and neutered as shelters all over the country are reporting up to 1/3 of their dogs being purebred. There is no money to be made in raising quality purebred dogs or cats. If you research the time, vet care, and knowledge needed to produce quality purebred animals, you will find that there is no profit. The goal of an expert breeder is to continually improve the breed and they do this knowing that they will not make money.
  2. Your pet will be a more content family member. The strong drive to reproduce leads to roaming, fighting, aggression, excessive barking, howling, staining and spraying, just to name a few. You won't have to fight off unwelcome 'suitors' and you won't have to find homes for the offspring.
  3. Your pet will be healthier. Because the urge to search out mates is eliminated, neutered pets are less likely to roam and be injured in fights or traffic. Neutered pets have twice the average life expectancy of unneutered pets due to a much lower chance of developing cancer in the reproductive organs. Spaying and neutering will not interfere with the pet's ability to be a watchdog or working dog. In fact, it can make them much more focused on their task!
  4. Public health and safety are improved with fewer bites and scratches occurring and fewer diseases being spread.
  5. Millions of tax dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned, and unwanted pets- and millions more to destroy those who do not find homes.
