Spay Neuter Society of the South is affliated with Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue and Adoption, Inc. Mostly Mutts, founded in 2004, has one mission: to rescue dogs from local shelters and house them until they are adopted into wonderful homes. They rescue dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes and health conditions, many of which require heartworm treatment, treatment for disease or mange, or have orthopedic issues. They are given the best of care and a lot of love while they are with Mostly Mutts and the organization strives to see that each dog is placed in a home where their needs will be fully met.
Rescue is rewarding but exhausting. For every ten dogs out of the back door from animal shelters, twenty-five more come in the front. We are losing the battle to help ALL of the animals that need rescue and only spinning our wheels to help some of them. We know we can do more but it’s just NOT going to be done through rescue.
The battle can only be won by decreasing the pet population. The only way to successfully do this is to spay and neuter more dogs and cats. This is where Mostly Mutts again stepped up and founded Spay/Neuter Society of the South. This is a spay/neuter campaign that involves marketing, advertising, education and social media to spread the word for pet owners to spay and neuter their pets. It’s time that pet owners understand that it’s their responsibility to not allow their dogs and cats to continue to reproduce.
Reducing the pet population will not only decrease the euthanasia rates at local shelters, it will also make the community a safer place. Fewer dogs and cats are likely to roam, therefore getting hit by cars or increasing the communities bite cases. Dogs and cats will be healthier, with less chance of getting some cancers, and they will be better suited to live as indoor dogs with less marking and other bad behaviors. There is not one good reason to not spay and neuter your pet.
Please be a responsible pet owner; have your pet spayed or neutered!
Proud to be part of the solution!
