Thanks for clarifying that. It did seem weird to me but if they don't count the 2nd home in those numbers then those stats are really sad
I have been to the shelters unfortunately and it breaks my heart.
i donate lots of things to them including food, clothes, blankets and $$ and i try to help when i can. My BFF runs a rescue no-kill organization in our area so i help her. It is shocking to see the precious babies that come through there.
i don't understand why anyone but a professional breeder doesn't spay/neuter their pets...but that's JMO.
