What can YOU do about this?

Spaying and neutering helps reverse the tragedy of pet overpopulation. It can also reduce your pet’s chances of developing deadly, costly medical problems, and can also improve your pet’s behavior.

Remember, the dog has no choice. YOU do. Help control the pet population by spaying or neutering your pet, and by making sure you take your pet parent responsibilities seriously.
