Everyday is " Spay or Neuter your Pet " Day!
Why Spay or Neuter? Reasons why it benefits you, your pet & your community.
Spay/Neuter makes your pet a better companion by reducing the urge to: spray or mark, the desire to roam, run away or get into fights (unsterilized pets often exhibit more behavior & temperament problems).
It can also eliminate or reduce the threat of serious health problems that are expensive to treat such as breast and testicular cancers.
Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals. Money that could be spent on education or health care is spent on animal shelters that are overburdened with surplus animals.
An estimated 4-5 million animals are euthanized in shelters each year . This is an unnecessary tragedy that can be eliminated!
Need help getting your pets spayed or neutered?

A Special Plea! Every year, hundreds of thousands of kittens are euthanized due to lack of available homes. Please, please have your cat spayed or neutered so that you are part of the solution and not part of the problem of this national tragedy! The animals thank you!!
The ASPCA Responds to the Micheal Vick Situation
Dear ASPCA Members and Supporters:
I wanted to let you know personally that we have just announced that the ASPCA is currently assisting in the federal investigation against Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and three other individuals, who were indicted on July 17 by a federal grand jury in a Virginia dog fighting venture.
At this time, we cannot offer any additional details in order to protect the integrity of this investigation and the ongoing criminal process.
We have also posted new educational materials on animal cruelty at www.aspca.org/cruelty. We’ll be regularly updating this section, so I hope you will bookmark it and visit often. You will find a wealth of information here on animal cruelty, as well as a look at the reprehensible world of dog fighting.
Thank you very much for your support of the ASPCA. It is what enables us to pursue our 141-year-old mission, which is as crucial today as when we were founded in 1866—to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Every day, we come one step closer to being a humane community. We could not do it without you.
Sincerely,
Ed Sayres President and CEO
Show Your Support for the Dogs!
