spay/neuter

Pet overpopulation is not a local problem, or even an American problem; it's a global issue, but resolving it starts with each pet owner!

The statistics indicate more than 900,000 pets are euthanized in shelters every year because there are not enough homes. Please spay or neuter your pet!

When should you spay or neuter your pet? Now - do it now!

Greater Birmingham Humane Society has identified confirmed cases of the Canine Pneumovirus in dogs at the Jefferson County Animal Care and Control facility in Woodlawn. Because of this, animal control intake and canine adotoptions are being suspended.

Huntsville Animal Services is grappling with severe overcrowding due to a significant increase in stray pickups and litters of unwanted kittens and puppies. To help reduce overcrowding, adoption fees for most adult animals will be waived through the end of the month of June.

The city of Huntsville is advocating for pet owners to spay and neuter their pets within the next few months. Huntsville Animal Services are seeking to fix the upcoming overpopulation of kittens. More stray kittens find themselves in the animal shelter or roaming the city which leads to overpopulation.

Allowing your pet to have just one litter means even more dogs or cats will not make it out of the animal shelter alive!

Bob Barker may be remembered for his grace, his humor and his skill in front of a TV camera, but his choice was always to be known as a staunch advocate for animal welfare and for spaying and neutering pets.

In the pet world there are already too many puppies and kittens and not enough homes - so let Father's Day be a reminder to have your male pet surgically fixed to prevent more litters!

Spaying or neutering your dog or can will prevent litters of puppies or kittens from being born into a world where there are more of them than there are homes available. It can also have health benefits for the spayed or neutered pet!
