Help us put them in homes not graves. Spaying or neutering is one of the greatest gifts you can provide your pet, your family and your community. These routine medical procedures not only reduce the number of animals who enter shelters, but they may also prevent medical and behavioral problems from developing in a cat or dog, allowing your pet to lead a longer, healthier and happier life. The word “spay” refers to the sterilization of female pets. The term “neuter,” is more commonly used to refer to the castration of male pets. In each case the animal’s reproductive organs are removed. Spaying and neutering directly impacts the number of animals who are killed in our nation’s shelters by reducing the number of pets entering shelters and freeing up homes for homeless pets who are already born. Barely half of the animals in shelters are adopted. Tragically, the rest are euthanized. These are healthy, sweet pets who would have made great companions. Providing spaying and neutering education is a primary goal for Paw Project as it allows us to save more lives.

Getting your pet spayed or neutered can:

1. Reduce the number of homeless pets killed
2. Improve your pet’s health
3. Reduce unruly behavior
4. Save on the cost of pet care

Be a part of the solution! Spay and neuter your pets and help others understand the importance and benefits.
