Harsh Realities

Every year, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters.

Each year, four to six million dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them.

Each day, 10,000 humans are born in the US, while 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals.

One unspayed female cat having just four kittens a year and just two females per litter, can be the cause of over 10,000 kittens being born over the next seven years.

If you think it is important for children to experience the miracle of birth, consider the tragedy of death - would you want children to see animals killed?!

Approximately 55% of dogs and puppies entering shelters are killed, based on reports from 1,038 facilities across America.

Approximately 71% of cats and kittens entering shelters are killed, based on reports from 1,038 facilities across America.

Pet overpopulation is the leading killer of dogs and cats in our country.

Only 14% of Americans check shelters first when looking for a new pet.

Tragically, every purchased animal (from pet stores or breeders) represents one less home for an animal in a shelter who will die for lack of a guardian.

Stray or feral female cats spend most of their lives pregnant and hungry, with most having several litters per year.
