Details:
Did you know that one unaltered female dog, and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies over 6 years (Peta, 2020). Well, we're here to educate, inform and advocate. Our companion animals need us as the majority of them are homeless, suffering and without the basic needs to survive.
A few more nitty gritty facts.
In 2017, The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated there are more than 200 million stray dogs worldwide
It's estimated that only one out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home
Cat person? Us too.. Additionally, one female cat and her offspring can produce 370,000 kittens in six years.
In 2019, Canadian shelters took in more than 105,000 companion animals. This does not include local rescues. Additionally, only 10 percent of the animals that enter shelters have been spayed/neutered.
Millions of animals are killed annually as a result of overpopulation. The severe reality is that euthanization still occurs, harsh outdoor conditions, starvation and disease take the lives of animals every single day.
Now that you have some of the staggering statistics let's talk about what we're doing about it, particularly, this February.
We are dedicated to sponsoring local & global action in the many communities we support. We've spoken to our partners, many overrun with dogs due to the current circumstances, and are planning on helping them manage the overpopulation in these areas.
To show you how dedicated we are we will be matching every single one of your donations for this campaign to support surgeries in these areas to reduce overpopulation and unwanted animals.
We will be sharing not only our financial impact but many of the stories along the way.
Our goal: 1500 animals altered
Our impact: 100,000,000 dogs prevented over the next 6 years.
Who we are supporting:
The month of February has always symbolized love from what we can remember, and this is what love looks like to us. Imagine this month you spread love by making an impact. Your donation will literally prevent pain, suffering, disease and for many a life living in constant fear.
This year we have an opportunity to be part of the change. As a community, we can make an impact that will be felt for years to come.
