Be A Responsible Owner

In the United States, 2,000 pets an hour have to be euthanized... Please help stop these unnecessary deaths by being a responsible pet owner!

1. Select the right pet.
   • Selecting the right pet is the first and most important step.
   • The “wrong” pet makes for an unhappy owner.
   • Consider your lifestyle: do you have the time and energy to give your pet enough attention and exercise?
2. Spay and neuter your pet.
   • Prevents unwanted pets.
   • Prevents problems for you.
   • Prevents cancer and other diseases.
   • Makes pets calmer, more content.
   • Reduces spotting or spraying problems, and
   • Discourages roaming and fighting.
3. Use proper identification.
   • The rabies identification tag is your pet's “free phone call home!”
   • The law requires that all pets wear rabies tags.
   • The most common reason pets are not found: NO Identification!
   • A frequent excuse for missing tags – “We just gave our pet a bath…”
4. What you – and only you – can do for your pet…
   • Provide proper training.
   • Confine dogs to your home or in a fenced yard.
   • Keep cats indoors.
