EVERY 8 SECONDS A COMPANION ANIMAL IS PUT TO DEATH IN A U.S. SHELTER.
More than four million pets are put to death in the United States shelters each year. How can we solve the pet overpopulation problem? By focusing on adoption programs and spay/neuter programs.
All About Animals Rescue was formed in 2005 and is dedicated to having No More Homeless Pets in Michigan. AAAR adopts out cats and dogs to their forever homes and offers spay/neuter clinics and vaccine clinics.
Why spay/neuter your pets? It's simple really...to adopt out every dog and cat, every person would have to own 21 cats and 7 dogs. That simply isn't feasible so aggressive spay/neuter programs are the answer. In the Detroit area, approximately 62% of pets entering shelters are put to sleep. On average 50% of the dogs and 90% of cats don't make it. For the most part, It's not because the shelters don't want to find them homes, it's that there are too many pets.
Humane societies and animal shelters do everything possible to find homes for each and every animal in their care; however, there just simply are not enough homes to go around. All over the United States, healthy, loving companion animals are euthanized by the millions each year simply due to lack of homes. And countless others are neglected, abused, or abandoned, all victims of a tremendous overpopulation problem.
As tremendous as the problem of pet overpopulation is, it can be solved if each of us takes just one small step, starting with not allowing our animals to breed. Please have your pet spayed or neutered.
