Pet Overpopulation a Prevalent Problem

(MS) - Many animals are forced to spend months in shelters, or are euthanized in the prime of their lives. The chief reason for this is the overpopulation of cats and dogs throughout the country.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates between three and four million cats and dogs are euthanized each year. Part of the problem in addressing overpopulation is a failure from pet lovers to realize just how damaging it can be, and how quickly things can get out of hand.

Please help reduce the pet population by having your pets spayed and neutered.

If you are considering buying a new pet, why not visit your local animal shelter. Or visit www.petfinder.com

Until next time!
