Every year, more than 80,000 dogs and cats, puppies and kittens are killed in valley shelters because there are not enough homes for these beautiful, loving animals. The primary cause of the valley's dog and cat overpopulation crisis is intentional and unintentional breeding. If you are a responsible pet guardian, your dog or cat is spayed or neutered.
Contact any of the following compassionate organizations which offer low cost spay/neuter services.
