ITS A DOG’S LIFE
OCTOBER IS NATIONAL ADOPT A SHELTER DOG MONTH. WE WANT TO PULL YOUR HEART STRINGS A LITTLE TO TRY AND HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND GIVE SOME DOGS A HOME. THE ASPCA CAN HELP YOU FIND A SHELTER NEAR YOU. VISIT www.ASPCA.COM TO FIND OUT MORE.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 5,000 COMMUNITY ANIMAL SHELTERS NATIONWIDE. ABOUT 8 TO 12 MILLION COMPANION ANIMALS ENTER THOSE SHELTERS EACH YEAR.
BETWEEN 5 AND 9 MILLION ANIMALS IN SHELTERS ARE PUT DOWN EVERY YEAR.
FIVE OUT OF TEN DOGS ARE DESTROYED SIMPLY BECAUSE NO ONE ADOPTS THEM.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE HOW MANY STRAY DOGS THERE ARE NATIONALLY, BUT THE ASPCA ESTIMATES THAT THE STRAY CAT POPULATION ALONE STANDS AT 70 MILLION.
