Spay Day 2010
Today, the Humane Society and many animal organizations around the country will celebrate Spay Day 2010. This last Tuesday in February encourages people to spay/neuter their pets to prevent unwanted offspring.
The numbers of homeless animals are staggering. Approximately 6-8 million animals enter animal shelters every year in the United States. 3-4 million of those are euthanized. EVERY YEAR. Spay/neuter programs have cut this down from a high of 15 millions animals in the 70's.
It's still too high.
A lot of these animals are healthy. Sweet. Beautiful. But there aren't enough good homes for these animals.
Please spay/neuter your pet. Adopt from your local animal shelter. Volunteer your time. Donate.
I have two cats and a dog. Two came from my local SPCA where I also volunteer. My dog came from a local rescue organization. I fuss about them and their early waking ways, but they give our family lots and lots of joy. Very little beats a doggie lick and a purring cat in terms of relaxation.

PS my local SPCA says every day is SPAY day for them.
