Every year, an estimated 5 to 10 million pets are euthanized in animal shelters in the United States. Why? Because there is no place for them to go, no homes for them. Yet, we continue to let animals roam freely, unneutered and producing more unwanted animals. Their offspring often go from birth to the shelter where, if they are not adopted before their 6 days are up, they will be killed. That is where the expression “born to die” applies; newly born into this world only to be put to death. What a tragic waste of life. There is a solution for this overpopulation problem, and that is to spay and neuter.

“Roxie” of Roxie Video Productions is a small golden terrier mix. Animal Control found Roxie on the street with one eye hanging out of the socket. They promptly brought her to Lied Animal Shelter where the fine doctors fixed her up. After a rehabilitation period with a foster mom, they adopted her out to her new home with Joanie.

It is truly a shame how wasteful we have become. We waste everything: time, money, relationships, and even the gift of life. How unnecessary and sad. Thanks for posting this article.
when I saw this video I almost broke down in tear. This article made me think if I had all the money in the world I will go buy all those cat in dog and give them to people who care about animals.
