Leading cause of death in healthy young dogs and cats

According to the 1996 Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the leading cause of death in healthy young dogs and cats in the U.S. was intentional killing in shelters.

In 1996, 4 million dogs were handled by U.S. shelters, of those 2 million were killed.

4 million cats were killed.

People who choose to work in animal shelters love animals. Imagine the toll on their hearts and spirits when they have to do society's dirty work.


Help prevent these needless deaths.
SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR DOGS AND CATS.
