Animal Control officer is my title yet they call me a "killer". I am a mom a wife and a hard worker. I am also the last face most animals at my job see. I feed them and love them and speak to them words of kindness, yet this does not stop what is about to happen. These animals had owners, they have collars, but no tags. They have no understanding of why they were left behind and no one is looking for them. Most were a free puppy or kitten from a Wal-Mart parking lot and are "replaceable". Some run loose all the time and owners think they will come back in three or for days. However in our shelter time is precious. Most city shelters only hold animals for 72 hours and then they euthanize them. Everyday that an animal spends in our shelter is a day of waiting for their owner. Hoping that the next person that walks into the kennel will take them to a new home or their original home. However, eight times out of ten that does not happen. Please help stop the killing and spay and neuter your animals.

I have heard individuals state that they want their animal to have the first litter. Stating that it will calm down their female animal. Another person stated to me once that they did not even know why they wanted their female to have a litter they just thought it was "cool". How "cool" it is when part of the litter gets euthanized because they did not find homes for the puppies. Backyard breeding is very common. These individuals do not monitor their female animal and most often they breed with anything that is loose and jumps into the fence. Then they can't understand why they can't find homes for mixed breed puppies. I encourage everyone to please spay and neuter your pets and stop the killing.
