Please read all of our blogs above for lots of great information on pet adoption and the spay/neuter movement. We are a Humane Society located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Our mission is to re-home pets surrendered by their owners, and picked up as strays in our local community. We also focus on educating our local community about the need to spay and neuter their pets to prevent future generations of pets that will be euthanized simply because there are not enough homes for them all. We have also implemented a spay/neuter assistance program to aid in our fight against overpopulation. To see our adoptable pets, or to learn more about our programs (including how to get an application for assistance), please visit our website at www.andersonky.petfinder.com

..Spaying or Neutering Is Good for Your Pet..
Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle.
Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
..Spaying or Neutering Is Good for You..
Spaying and neutering makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Estrus lasts an average of six to 12 days, often twice a year, in dogs and an average of six to seven days, three or more times a year, in cats. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered.
Spaying and neutering can make pets less likely to bite.
Neutering makes pets less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights.
..Spaying and Neutering Are Good for the Community..
Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals.
Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks.
Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
Stray pets and homeless animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas or on private lawns, and frighten or anger people who have no understanding of their misery or needs.
Some stray animals also scare away or kill birds and wildlife.
..10 Reason why you should Spay and Neuter your Animal Companions..
1. Every day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in this country while only 10,000 people are born.
2. It's simple math - there just arent enough homes for all of these animals.
3. Every year 10-12 million animals are euthanized in shelters for lack of available homes.
4. On average, 64% of all animals taken into shelters nationwide have to be euthanized for this reason.
5. At least 50% of the overpopulation problem is non-neutered males. Females cant do it alone.
6. Purebreds account for 30% of all the animals in shelters. "Papers" dont mean an animal should be bred.
7. For every home you find for an animal that you have bred, a home is lost for a shelter animal.
8. Breeding to "see the miracle of birth" demands that you also "see the tragic results". Visit a shelter.
9. Animal overpopulation has reached a crisis point in this country.
10. You personally can make a difference by spaying or neutering your pet. It is the single most important thing you can do to prevent animal cruelty!
Recently, the Northern Territory government announced plans to kill 3000 camels by means of aerial shooting in the township of Docker River. Thirsty and in search of water, the camels converged on the community of Docker River. Instead of assisting the community by building barriers to keep the camels out of the township and investing in long term solutions such as research into birth control or the construction of a manmade waterhole for the camels to drink from, the government are planning to herd the animals away from the town, shoot them and leave their bodies to rot. Despite the outrage of thousands of concerned people from around the world, the Northern Territory government has given the green light for the cull to go ahead and thousands of scared camels are now being annihilated by marksmen from helicopters.
I borrowed your bulletin about the two doggies that need help. I hope that you don't mind. I thought it might be helpful in finding them a home! Mandie
I bring the good news that I filed a complaint against Gov.Terminator (of pets)-that governor Schwarzenegger, for vetoing AB241 (the anti-puppy mill bill which he said it is okay to keep 50 dogs or cats on a single property)--I pointed out to the Dept of Health 50 or more animals produces huge quantities of feces and urine and spreads disease(s) to the community. THEY TOOK THE COMPLAINT!!! Now this is the day I socked it to Schwarzenegger!
I'm so glad you received it! I wish I could come to the shelter to help out. I just have no time to go any where any more. I figure if I can't show up physically, I want to help with donations when I can.
