MYtH: A female should have one litter before
she is spayed.
FACt: Medical evidence shows just the oppo-
site. In fact, females that are spayed before their
first heat are healthier overall and live longer.
MYtH: I don't have to worry. I always find homes
for the puppies and kittens.
FACt: Even if you do find homes, can you be
certain the animals will be welcome when their
cuteness wears off? And how many of them will
go onto add to the overpopulation problem by
having litters of their own? In addition, for every
puppy and kitten your companion animal gives
birth to (and you find homes for), an animal in a
shelter will die from a lack of a good home.
MYTH: My pet will get fat and lazy.
FACt: Not true. Pets gain weight because they
don't receive the proper diet or exercise.
MYtH: My animal is a purebred. I'll find homes
for the puppies or kittens.
FACt: One out of every four animals brought to
shelters across the country is a purebred. There
are too many animals, mixed and purebred and
too few homes.
MYtH: I want my dog to be productive.
FACt: Spaying and neutering does not affect a
dog's natural instincts to protect its home and
family. A dog's personality is formed more by
genetics and environment than by its sex hor-
mones.
MYtH: I want my children to see the miracle of
birth.
FACt: But your children do not see the tragedy
associated with unwanted pets. There are many
wonderful books and videos on birth you can
show your children.
