MISSION:
“With respect for all life, we will lead the community in efforts to eliminate animal cruelty and the tragedies of pet overpopulation through an aggressive spay and neuter program.”
SOLUTION:
Only by implementing widespread sterilization programs, only by spaying and neutering all companion animals, will we get a handle on pet overpopulation. In 2005, the Guilford County Animal Shelter (GCAS) euthanized 7,907 dogs & cats (that represents 58% of all dogs & cats brought to our local shelter). While some are euthanized due to illness, injury or because the dog was deemed dangerous or vicious (nearly 30% of the total) most are victims of human failure to provide them with the care they deserve. Likewise, of the 13,708 dogs & cats taken into the shelter, it was successful in adopting out 3,615 and returning another 976 to the rightfiul owner.
PURPOSE:
Sharing a common vision and common goals, the Humane Society of the Piedmont has narrowed its focus to spay/neuter services because we believe this is the most important issue facing animals for the foreseeable future.
