Today is World Spay Day!
This event made its debut in 1995 under the creation of Doris Day and the Doris Day Animal League. It is held on the last Tuesday of February each year.
The idea of this project was to bring awareness to the number of unwanted pets that are euthanized every year due to overcrowding of animal shelters and issues with feral cats in communities.
In Canada, pet overpopulation remains a significant concern. Each year, thousands of cats and dogs end up in shelters, and many face euthanasia due to the lack of available homes. Uncontrolled breeding contributes to this issue, leading to overcrowded shelters and increased numbers of stray animals. Spaying and neutering are effective strategies to curb this trend, reducing the number of unwanted litters and alleviating the strain on animal shelters.
Participating in World Spay Day contributes to controlling the pet population in Canada, enhances your pet's health and well-being, and can provide volunteer support for non-profit organizations. Utilize your available resources to ensure your pets lead healthier, happier lives.
