Each year, more than 12,000,000 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens are left at animal shelters around the country. Some are lost, some are abandoned, some are unwanted, most are the result of irresponsible pet ownership. Sadly, nearly8,000,000 of those animals have to be euthanatized because there aren't enough homes for them all.
Facts:
In six short years, one female dog and its offspring can be the source of 67,000 puppies.
Every day in the United States, more than 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. When this number is compared to the 10,000 human births each day, it's clear that there can never be enough homes for all these pets. But don't look at it as just a problem of numbers--every single pet is an individual life.
