The Tragedy of Dog & Cat Overpopulation

One of the saddest and most frustrating animal issues is the euthanasia of healthy, but homeless, dogs and cats all across the United States. Maricopa County and Arizona are no different. We euthanize tens of thousands of unwanted animals each year. Every time I think of this fact, it breaks my heart. With a little love, every one of those dogs and cats could be the love of someone's life. These days pit bull and pit bull mixes are the dogs that are most likely to wind-up in shelters and be euthanized. Poor pit bulls. Talk about a misunderstood dog. They can be such sweeties- if given a good home and a chance. The Animal Defense League of Arizona Quarterly Meeting at 3 pm on Sunday September 14 at Glendale Public Library will talk about the plight of the pit bull in Maricopa County and some upcoming events and ongoing programs to help them. Please stop by and learn how you can help!
