How to make a difference based on the statistics
Through extensive research and time spent volunteering at local shelters and humane societies, we have gathered an extensive list of ways and resources that can help prevent the amount of owner surrenders and unwanted litters. Please visit our “Resources” page to learn more.
~6 million pets in the U.S. enter shelters each year. 900,000+ of them are euthanized.
The most common reasons for surrendering a pet include: time, lack of experience, money, change in life situation, aging of pet, unwanted litters, disinterest, and lack of profitability.
Around 30% of dogs in shelters are purebred.
A lot of women in unhealthy home/relationship environments choose not to leave the situation because they are worried about what may happen to their pet.
The decompression phase is crucial, and can last anywhere from 1-4 weeks.
