Hording, a by-product of breeding unchecked.

The Humane Society of the United States’ Animal Rescue Team has rescued approximately 150 mixed-breed dogs from an overcrowded property in Lucerne Valley, Calif.  (Full Story)


You often hear about that crazy cat lady, or that person that had 20 dogs living in their own feces.  But do you ever wonder.... why does this happen?  More often than not this is a "sickness" that is inspired out of the need to save all the unwanted animals that so many people breed and then throw away.  Either on the streets or into the kill shelters, these people that refuse to spay/neuter their pets, throw their "trash" away and it is up to kindhearted souls to rescue them.  Sometimes though... the rescuer needs rescuing.  Some have a bigger heart than they do a means to provide.

This is why it is so very important that you spay or neuter your animals.  Not only will it prevent unwanted litters, but it will lessen the amount of animals that end up in the street, kill shelters, and homes of those that hoard.  Hoarding is a symptom of an underlying disease: Not spaying/neutering out pets.  Don't be part of the disease!

• For every puppy/kitten mill pet purchased that is one less shelter/rescue animal that will be adopted!

The Kindest Cut of All - by Brenda Griffin, DVM (humanealliance.org)

"Ask yourself: Which animals are most often adopted from your shelter? Then ask another question: Which animals are most likely to leave before they are spayed or neutered? For many shelters, unfortunately, the answer to both of these questions is the same: kittens and puppies....." read the full article from the Humane Alliance
