Why spay/neuter?
Cute pups, aren't they? But born to an abandoned mother under a stranger's shed. The stranger called us, thankfully, but the pups could have easily ended up dead in the road or euthanized in a shelter. That's why spay/neuter is so important. Prevention frees up resources to help pups like these.
Spay/Neuter takes up a couple of hours in one day and a little cash. No S/N can take up months or more searching for homes for kittens/puppies, many dollars in food, vet bills or surrender fees (to a shelter that will likely euthanize). You'll likely deal with fleas, worms, ear mites because that mama didn't get pregnant as an indoor pet. Spay/Neuter is the better deal by far!

Prevention is the best solution to overcrowded shelters and animal euthanasia.
What animals need to be spayed/neutered?
- Any cat that spends even a little time outside
- Any dog that spends even a little time outside
- Any dog or cat that has ever or could escape
- Community cats (one of NGAA's programs)
- There are good health reasons for having dogs and cats spayed or neutered, too, including reducing cancer risks in males and females.
