Spay and neuter: Save the animals

Spay and neuter: Save the animals

Pet owners should watch for low-cost neuter and spay offers at the end of February in honor of Spay Day, Feb. 25 and World Spay Day, Feb. 27.

It's the kindest thing you can do for a family pet. Neutering limits wandering and aggression, and extends the life of your pet, according to the Humane Society.

In the United States, about 6 million to 8 million homeless animals enter animal shelters every year. About half of these animals are adopted. The other half are euthanized. In some states, as many as 300,000 homeless animals are euthanized in animal shelters each year.

Be kind. Save an animal by getting your pet neutered.
