Carla — The shelter I volunteer at is overflowing. Sadly they have several dogs and litters dropped out in the night in front of the property weekly. It is heartbreaking. All of our pets are spayed and neutered. The numbers in this graphic are a lot higher than I expected. | 10.11.16 @ 15:13

Steffanie — These numbers are overwhelming. I encourage everyone to adopt from a shelter. It makes me sad to know so many animals are in them. | 10.11.16 @ 15:16

trish — I think these are great tips. But I think the fact that there are so many within shelters, the biggest point is to adopt when looking for a new pet! so glad to see that as the first, and biggest point of this graphic. | 10.11.16 @ 15:17

Irene — We always spay or neuter our pets and every single one has been adopted. I wish more people would adopt from shelters instead of buying | 10.11.16 @ 15:18

brittany.martinez530 — This is a great graph with lots of awesome information. I've always felt bad for the number of animals that get tossed into shelters, all my furbabies have been rescues for that exact reason. | 10.11.16 @ 15:19

Erin — It makes me so sad to see so many animals in shelters. I wish we could take more ourselves, but our home is already bursting with animals. I encourage everyone to adopt from a shelter/rescue instead of buying from a store or breeder. | 10.11.16 @ 15:20
