Spaying and neutering of cats and
dogs eliminates unwanted behavior, saves lives because overpopulation of
these animals caused many to get sick and die or are not adopted and have
to be euthanized.
The solution is simple and inexpensive!

Shelter workers and volunteers hear over and over again from people
who want to adopt a puppy or a kitten, "I want a pet who will bond with my
family," or "I want a pet who can grow up with my kids." the truth
is that forming a strong connection with a pet has little to do with the
animal's age at the time of adoption. Here are a few statements made
by people who have adopted older pets:
"I have benefited more from knowing and loving my old pets than I ever
could have imagined."
"When I adopted my first older dog I thought I was doing a good thing by
bringing her home. Who was I kidding? Now I am filled with
gratitude to her for sharing her appreciation for the little joys in life
with me. I have learned many life lessons from knowing, loving and
being loved by these older souls."
More and more animal lovers are finding out that their perfect pet isn't a
puppy or kitten but an adult animal. Their learning just how easy it
is to teach an older pet new tricks - like showing their best friend how
to love again.
As society, we respect and honor
those who have lived long lives. And so it should be for our special
animal friends.
Adoption Fees for Adult Dogs has
been extended until the end of July.

I looked at all the caged
animals in the shelter...the cast-offs of human society. I saw in
their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And
I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you
do something?" God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
"I have done something, " He replied. "I created you."
