~ Are you rehoming your pet b/c of your lack of preparation for changes in your life (whether it's moving, a new baby, or not enough time, behavioral problems, etc.)& laziness to try to work things out so you wouldn't have to rehome your pet (not trying to sound mean - that's truly the reality of it when 99.9% of people are rehoming their pets)?

~ Are your pets not spayed/neutered?

~ Do you not keep an ID tag on your pet (yes, this includes cats!)?

~ Did you buy your pet from a breeder , pet store/puppy mill?

If you answered yes to any of these, PLEASE watch these videos! A big eye opener! Because this is what you are contributing to and helping cause to happen:

After seeing those videos, I can only hope that you:

~ make the effort to find ways to keep your pet, even if it's not convenient for you. If you move, move to a place that allows pets & a place where you can afford the pet deposit. If you don't have the time, MAKE time or find other solutions such as a doggie daycare or adopting & saving the life of another pet to keep the other pet company while you are away or busy. If your pet is having behavioral problems or doing bad things that you don't want them to do, get a pet trainer to help or do some research on ways that you can train them yourself.

~ Spay/neuter your pets! There's no room for accidental litters (or intentional!)!

~ Keep an ID tag on your pet at ALL times (this includes cats! not sure why people tend to not put ids on cats. especially since most people allow them to roam outside, which is a big risk)! Most of the animals that end up in shelters are "strays". Only 5-10% of those are reclaimed.

~ ADOPT and save the life of your future pets from an animal control shelter or pet rescue group!


YOU have the power to make a difference! YOU have the power to reduce the killing and increase the saving!
