Pet overpopulation in Livingston County continues to rise and unfortunately, there is not enough space available to house all of these pets. We are at capacity most of the time, leaving EUTHANASIA the end result for many of these pets.

Your pet is one of the lucky ones—it has a home!

By neutering or spaying your family pet you can actively help solve the problem of overpopulation. The only way to solve this problem is one pet at a time and, if each of us does our part, we can be successful.

Benefits of neutering or spaying your pet:

• Reduces the urge to wander, thus reducing the chance of becoming lost, getting hit by a car, or getting into a fight.
• Reduces indiscriminate urination (spraying or marking their territory)
• Reduces aggression towards other pets and people, thus saving you potential troublesome encounters with neighbors and acquaintances.
• For females—it helps reduces uterine infections and breast cancer, both which jeopardize your pet’s life and are expensive to treat—far more than the initial cost to spay your pet.
• For males—it helps reduce prostate and testicular cancers, along with urinary tract problems that may not be reversible. Again, these jeopardize your pet’s life and are expensive to treat—far more than the initial cost to neuter your pet.
• Your license fee will be significantly less for a neutered or spayed dog. Your dog license fee in Livingston County is only $7.00 for an altered dog instead of $25 or more for a dog not altered.

Puppies or kittens are cute—we know you think you found them a "good" home, but when they are not "cute" anymore where will they wind up?
