How To
Help
1. Spay and neuter your pets.
2. Help raise awareness about the problem of pet overpopulation and
euthanasia. Talk to your friends, families and
neighbors.
3. Contact your local lawmakers and encourage them to enact stricter
laws involving breeders' licensing and the spay/neuter guidelines.

4. Adopt from shelters and rescue groups. The Shelter animals are often
destroyed because there are no available homes. Adopt
(save) a dog or cat which is about to be killed.
5. Volunteer at your local shelter or with a rescue group. You'll make
lots of new friends and be helping the animals at the same time.
6. Donate supplies or funds. Most rescue groups depend on your
donations and do not receive tax dollars to fund their programs.

7. If you must buy a pet, find a reputable breeder. Pet shops often
get their animals from puppy mills and backyard breeders. Their animals
are notorious for suffering miserable lives and being inbred and very
sickly.
***Did you know that there are rescue groups for every breed of dog? They
are a network that connects people seeking a particular breed of dog,
like a Golden Retriever or Bassett Hound, with people who who need to
find a good home for their dog or cat of the same breed. So, if you
have your heart set on a particular breed, you can adopt/save an
animal needing a home without having to purchase a puppy at the pet
shop! Use your internet search engines to find the relevant
information.
