HOW SPAY/NEUTER HELPS OUR COMMUNITY

DOG AND CAT OVERPOPULATION REDUCTION / ELIMINATION BENEFITS

• Public health and safety -- fewer unowned dogs and cats running at large

• Rabies vaccination requirement, which improves public health and safety

• Opportunity to provide Humane Education -- citizens receive information regarding animal care

• Wildlife protection -- reduced predation of native wildlife species by cats and dogs

• Reduced harassment of livestock by dogs running at large

• Prevention of dog, cat, puppy and kitten abuse, abandonment, and neglect

• Increased adoption of strays when spay/neuter services are available -- more animals are finding homes

• Fewer dogs and cats taken to the Animal Control Facility
