Puppies and dogs are man’s best friend. Given the general love that dogs show towards anyone and everyone, it is easy to see why. Finding this kind of unconditional love is very rare, which is why it is so important that we protect our canine friends. The best place to start is ensuring that the dogs in our household are spayed and neutered.
If you live in North Texas, there is a good chance TCAP has a spay and neuter clinic location near you.
Spay & Neuter: The Big Picture
Spays and neuters save lives. This practice is widely regarded as the most humane and effective way to improve animal welfare. A single female dog can have anywhere from 8-14 puppies in a year. And female puppies can enter their first heat cycle as early as 6 months of age. As a result, a household with a pair of unaltered dogs can easily produce dozens of puppies in just a few short years.
The growth is exponential and there simply are not enough resources to care for every puppy born in the United States. According to the ASPCA’s national estimates in 2019 over 900,000 animals were euthanized in animal shelters due to overpopulation. This problem was only worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic in the years following as well.
Should I Spay or Neuter my pet?
Making a change starts at home. As a community, we can make a difference if we all commit to spaying and neutering the pets within our sphere of influence first. This will of course mean spaying and neutering pets within our own households, but also having conversations with friends, neighbors and family about the importance of spaying and neutering their own pets.
The problem of euthanasia is massive, and it can be very easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of effort it would take to make a dent. However, we firmly believe that a community of like-minded people, which are united in purpose, can accomplish anything.
