Support Spay/Neuter Measures in Dallas!

What's the problem?
Last year, 26,979 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens were put down in City of Dallas shelters last year - another 13,000+ were found dead on the streets. It's clear that Dallas has a pet overpopulation crisis - there are too many unwanted pets crowding under resourced shelters, and not enough of them are finding homes.

What can be done about it?
We mentioned in a previous post that many cities across the nation have found that requiring people to spay or neuter their pets has lead to a drop in the number of animals being euthanized at taxpayer expense, and also lead to increased adoption rates in shelters.

There are many benefits to spaying or neutering your pet, besides helping to alleviate the pet overpopulation issue - to learn more, download a fact sheet by the ASPCA on spaying and neutering from the Companions for Life website in English or Spanish.

Learn what Companions for Life is doing about this crisis:
Companions for Life has recently teamed up with Metroplex Animal Coalition in support of mandatory spay/neuter ordinances in the city of Dallas - you can read more about this, including an executive summary of the changes being requested at the Dallas Animal Advocates site.

Do something!
If you'd like to add your support to our proposal, please sign our petition encouraging the Dallas Mayor and City Council to adopt these new measures. We are aiming to get 10,000 signatures, so every signature counts!

People of Dallas - don't stand by and let your tax dollars be used to kill unwanted animals! Sign here to tell your City Council you want change!
