R.I.P.P. Pit Bulls

SPAY AND NEUTER

     Spaying and Neutering your dog is very important. An estimated 6 - 8 million animals are euthanized every year in shelters. Which averages to over half of all animals entering shelters will never make it out and will be euthanized. By altering your dog you are helping control all of the unwanted animals across the world by not contributing to these numbers. People tell me all the time

“But she is such a good dog and I am only going to breed her once, she needs to have 1 litter then I will get her spayed…..”

     NO ! Just one litter is adding that many more dogs to the overpopulation that we already have, and many will probably end up in the shelters later in life. Pitbulls especially are harder to find GOOD, LOVING and FOREVER homes for. We rarely see an OLD pitbull come through the shelters, many will never make it past the age of 5 years before they end up in the wrong hands and are being brought to the shelter and euthanized.

     There are so many wonderful Pitbulls as well as other breeds of dogs out there that are waiting on their forever homes in shelters and rescues, that we do not need any more puppies being brought into this world. Shelter workers are overwhelmed by the number of animals being brought in every day, which many of whom will never be reunited with their original owners.

     Rescues groups across the world, (ESPECIALLY Pitbull Rescues) are overwhelmed and are at capacity and can no longer accept any new dogs into their programs because of the amount of dogs that they have already taken on through their organization.

     There are just not enough homes and not enough rescue groups out there to provide all of these animals will new and forever homes. On average a shelter in a large city will impound approximately 4,000 Pitbulls in one year, less than 400 of those dogs will make it out alive statistically. Please do not contribute to these numbers and help control our overpopulation problems throughout the U.S.
