For every human born, 7 puppies and kittens are born.

One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years.

One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in 6 years.

More than 12 MILLION dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year. Millions more are abandoned in rural and urban areas.

As many as 25% of dogs entering shelters each year are purebreds.

Approximately 61% of all dogs entering shelters are killed.

Approximately 75% of all cats entering shelters are killed.

It costs approximately $100 to capture, house, feed, and eventually kill each stray animal -- a cost which you, the taxpayer, eventually pay.
