Why Spay or Neuter? 

Each year, thousands of animals come to the Burlington Animal Shelter as strays, abandoned, bite or cruelty cases, and owner surrenders. Unfortunately, there are not enough homes for all of these homeless animals. Much of this problem lies in pet ownership. Many unaltered pets are allowed to breed repeatedly, as well as roam free, leading to hundreds of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. The most effective means of preventing unwanted litters and pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter your pet.

Contrary to popular belief, spaying or neutering your pet will not lead to a fat, lazy pet. Only overfeeding and lack of exercise will do that. Removing the sex hormones will not cause your dog to lose its protective instinct, either. Animals that have been altered exhibit fewer problems with aggression, spraying and marking territory, roaming and fighting. Spayed female cats and dogs do not suffer from uterine disease and have a markedly reduced incidence of breast cancer. Neutered males eliminate testicular cancer and reduce the incidence of prostate cancer. Spaying/neutering will give you a much happier and healthier companion that will not be able to reproduce and add to the existing overpopulation problem. This benefits you, your pet and our community.
