Each day 10,000 humans are born in the United States and each day 70,000 kittens and puppies are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals.

As a result millions of healthy, loving kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs face early deaths as a form of animal control. Others are left to fend for themselves against automobiles, the weather, other animals, and cruel humans.

What can you do to end the suffering? SPAY and NEUTER YOUR PETS! And contribute to Pins for Pets to help finance The Minnesota Spay/Neuter Assistance Program, Inc.
