This past weekend, Jameson Humane partnered with Spay Neuter Imperative Project (SNIP) and Pet Food Express to spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering.

Did you know?

• Just one female dog and her offspring can produce a staggering 67,000 puppies in only six years.
• In seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce an incredible 370,000 kittens!

Reasons for Spay/Neuter: Prevents millions of animals from being born that would otherwise suffer from neglect, cruelty or face euthanasia.

The medical benefits:

• Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats.
• Neutering prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.

And behavioral benefits:

• Your spayed female animal won't go into heat and present behavioral issues.
• Your neutered male animal will be less likely to roam away from home.
• Your neutered male animal may be better behaved.

Interested in being part of the solution? Please ask about sponsoring a spay/neuter clinic or donating $100 for a spay/neuter!
