Micah, Rachel, and Emma's Pet Overpopulation Campaign

Thank you for visiting our Team ASPCA fundraising page! We created this page to raise awareness on animal overpopulation and the importance of spaying and neutering. Every year, over 7 million dogs are euthanized because of animal overpopulation.  A majority of these animals are healthy, adoptable animals.Your donation will help the ASPCA provide life-saving programs and services to millions of animals nationwide. We appreciate your help as we fight to give both abused and homeless animals a second chance at life. Below is more information on our topic and ways you can help. Please join us in raising awareness of animal over population by sharing this page and donating to our cause to hel[p us reach our goal of $500. Thank you!!!

What you can do to combat pet overpopulation:

·      Always spay and neuter your pet

·      Always adopt your pets from a legitimate shelter or a nonprofit rescue group

·      Consider all of the responsibilities and consequences of pet ownership before deciding to get a pet

·      Educate your children, friends, family members, and coworkers about pet overpopulation, adoption, and the importance of spaying and neutering

Pet Overpopulation Statistics

·        7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats

·        2.7 million animals are euthanized every year due to animal overpopulation

·        70 million stray cats live in the US alone

·        Only 10% of the animals received by shelters are spayed or neutered

·        The cost of spaying and neutering your pet is less than the cost of raising a litter of puppies or kittens for a year
