Spay and Neuter

Early Spay and Neuter

Each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born  in the United States. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. Early spay/neuter is one of the easiest, most obvious solutions to the problem. We cannot kill or adopt our way out of pet overpopulation crisis. Spay and neuter is the only way.

For many years, animal shelters and humane organizations have had policies requiring new pet owners to have the animal neutered ‘as soon as possible’, but realistically, there has never been  a way to enforce this requirement, and too many animals have left the shelter unsterilized, only to end up contributing to our already overwhelming pet overpopulation problem, despite the shelters’ good intentions. Statistics report that more than half of the coupons given for low cost spay/neuter are never used.

All animals available for adoption through Molly’s Place are spay/neutered before adoption, including puppies and kittens. We have researched juvenile spay/neuter and alter even young puppies and kittens. We have had NO issues with altering HEALTHY animals as young as seven weeks. In fact we have found their recovery time is much quicker and quite often they are up and about within a few hours. Read more (PDF)
