Did you know 5,500 puppies and kittens are born each hour in the United States? Consider these facts:

·   In just six years, one female dog and her offspring can be the source of 67,000 puppies.
·   In seven years, one cat and her young can produce 420,000 kittens.
·   For every human born in the United States, 15 dogs and 45 cats are born.

Caring for these animals consumes a lot of resources, places unnecessary strain on the environment, and potentially leads to the euthanizing of millions of animals each year. To help contain the pet population, please consider having your pet spayed or neutered.

For those individuals with a financial need, the Oregon Humane Society can assist with the cost of a spay/neuter surgery. Their website also offers discount coupons through various participating clinics.
