Every Year, Approximately Four Million Homeless Animals are killed in shelters around the country. Millions languish in cages, often for years. The problem is staggering, yet one with a tangible and clear solution. If even a fraction of the human population in the United States opened their homes to just one rescued animal; if we all spayed and neutered our pets; and rejected the notion of buying animals from pet stores or breeders, effectively cutting off support to puppy mills — the practice of putting adoptable animals to sleep would become obsolete. What better time to begin the domino effect of compassion than right now, today?
