Why We Do It |
What We Do | Contact | |
 Everyday
we witness first hand the tragic consequences of pet overpopulation.Locally: In 2008-2009, the City of Dallas shelter alone took in 33,617 dogs and cats. For the most recent fiscal year (2008-2009) Dallas Animal Services: *euthanized 26,542 dogs and cats (20,022 dogs and 6,520 cats) *adopted out 2,517 dogs and cats *redeemed back to owners 2,425 dogs and cats *rescue organizations saved 1,420 dogs and cats Estimates are 70,000-80,000 are euthanized each year across the Metroplex. Nationally: Each year in the United States, 3-4 million animals are euthanized. Every day 70,000 kittens and puppies are born in the United States, which is alarming, considering only 10,000 people are born on a given day. Paws in the City strongly believes in educating the public on responsible pet ownership to prevent the tragic consequences of unwanted animals. We also believe that Spay/Neuter and Pet Retention Programs are the answer to ending the pet overpopulation crisis nationwide and in Dallas along with passing and enforcing animal related laws. |
