What's
the BIG Problem?
Tens of thousands of cats and dogs in Onondaga County are not spayed or neutered, leading to massive homelessness
and high euthanasia rates.
-
Many of the 1,000 stray dogs picked up in the City of Syracuse each year are euthanized. Many are adoptable, most are not neutered.
-
The number of feral and abandoned cats is increasing.
-
Most serious dog bites come from intact dogs, unvaccinated against rabies.
-
Homeless animals keep having babies, many destined to suffer and die on our streets or on the euthanasia table.
-
Shelters are full, rescue groups are overwhelmed. People who find strays or who must rehome pets often have little option but to leave them on the streets.
-
In Onondaga County, over 40,000 pets live in households existing below the poverty level.
-
Many families who love their pets cannot afford current spay/neuter services.
-
Population of homeless animals will decrease by preventing reproduction and lessen the amount of litters coming into shelters and rescues.
-
The health, safety, and quality of life in our community will be greatly improved.
