Resources for Spaying & Neutering
One of the root causes of Economic Euthanasia is the lack of awareness about how critical spaying and neutering are — not only for individual pet health but for preventing the overwhelming overpopulation of dogs and cats.
The Scope of the Problem
A single unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce over 500 puppies in just seven years. For cats, the numbers are even more staggering — one unspayed female and her offspring can produce around 5,000 kittens in the same timeframe.
This unchecked population growth has devastating consequences. According to the AVMA, over $1 billion is spent annually by taxpayers and private agencies to capture, house, and often euthanize unwanted animals. In the U.S. alone, 6 to 8 million homeless animals enter shelters every year. Tragically, only half are adopted. The remainder — many of them healthy, loving animals — are euthanized due to a lack of space and resources.
Health Benefits for Your Pet
Spaying and neutering are also powerful tools for protecting your pet’s health. According to a comprehensive University of Georgia study involving over 70,000 companion animals:
Neutered male dogs lived 18% longer
Spayed female dogs lived 26% longer
Altered dogs had an average lifespan of 9.4 years, compared to 7.9 years for intact dogs
These procedures also drastically reduce the risk of serious and potentially fatal conditions such as:
Ovarian and testicular cancer
Prostate disease
Pyometra (a severe uterine infection)
Mammary cancer (malignant in 50% of dogs and 90% of cats)
