14.04.09 - Stimulus helping to save lives
As stimulus payments are rolling into bank accounts the National Desexing Network (NDN) is receiving calls from people who realise the investment value of desexing their furry family members.
Over 75% of dogs and cats that end up in pounds are undesexed, pet owners could save themselves impoundment fees, time, and stress by desexing their pets. Most importantly they can also save lives.
There are already not enough homes for the cats and dogs in our pounds and shelters and the slowing economy means even more are being surrendered.
If people would just desex their pets before that first litter we could save so many more lives. It’s a once in a lifetime procedure with a lifetime worth of benefits.
All the cats and dogs in pounds and shelters were once cute fluffy kittens and bouncy playful puppies. Once that cuteness factor is gone the chances of finding a home become much harder.
The only difference between those cute pups and kittens produced by peoples pets and the cats and dogs needing homes in shelters is about 18 months.
