Why
do you spay and neuter the dogs you adopt out?
We feel strongly—and
actually insist—that all our rescues be spayed or neutered before they
are adopted. There are simply too many unwanted dogs out there whose basic
needs—food, water, shelter, and love—are not being met, and we
don't want to add to the population.
People may think they'd like to breed
their beloved pet to produce more animals they can cuddle, or to let their
dog "experience motherhood," or to offer their children the experience of witnessing
one of nature's miracles; we know they mean well, but the chances are pretty
good that any puppies that might result from their breeding would wind up going
to either a shelter or a rescue group for placement.
In addition, some breeds
are prone to genetic diseases that, unless averted by the thorough research
by a responsible breeder into the lineage of their intended breeding pair,
may be perpetuated in future litters. There is no way to check on a rescued
dog's parents—because we don't know who they are—to see if they
are genetically prone to these problems. We have been in dog rescue long enough
to see too many dogs euthanized because the population exceeds the number of
good available homes for them [back]
