According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Additionally, Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized.

Dogs in an animal shelter are less likely to be adopted than cats are. 34% of dogs are purchased from breeders, while 23% of dogs and 31% of cats are obtained from an animal shelter or humane society.

We support the organizations that work to give these animals a forever home, with a focus on the disproportionate number of dogs that stay in the shelters!
