Adopt A Disabled Animal Today!!!!!

Ruby is a very sweet girl
and not at all aggressive,
though she does not like
other dogs in her face.
Ruby LOVES to lay in the
sun and always finds her
way to a sun spot after
breakfast every day.
States Pat her foster
mom.


There are ways to support
an animal that is physically
disabled. There are things
from animal wheelchairs
all the way to leg braces.
This allows pets to move
and maneuver around still,
and they do just as great
and they thrive!!!
Facts about U.S. Animal Shelters:

There are about 13,600 community animal shelters
nationwide that are independent; there is no
national organization monitoring these shelters. The
terms humane society and SPCA are generic;
shelters using those names are not part of the
ASPCA or the Humane Society of the United States.
Currently, no government institution or animal
organization is responsible for tabulating national
statistics for the animal protection movement. These
are national estimates; the figures may vary from
state to state.


According to (ASPCA.)
* Approximately 7.6 million companion animals
enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of
those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4
million are cats.
*Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are
euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats).
*Approximately 2.7 million shelter animals are
adopted each year (1.4 million dogs and 1.3 million
cats).
*About 649,000 animals who enter shelters as
strays are returned to their owners. Of those,
542,000 are dogs and only 100,000 are cats.
*Of the dogs entering shelters, approximately 35%
are adopted, 31% are euthanized and 26% of dogs
who came in as strays are returned to their owner.
*Of the cats entering shelters, approximately 37%
are adopted, 41% are euthanized, and less than 5%
of cats who came in as strays are returned to their
owners.
*About twice as many animals enter shelters as
strays compared to the number that are relinquished
by their owners.
