Shawn and his buddy, Cocoa, wait to check into the free spay/neuter pit bull day hosted on the second Monday of every month. Look at the smile on that dog! |

King, a kissy-face 8-month-old pit bull pup, plants a wet one on Sean's face as they wait to check into the clinic. King is a lucky dog. His guardian really cares! |
Today is Albert Einstein's birthday. It's also the League's monthly FREE pit bull spay-neuter day. What does the League's pit bull spay-neuter day have in common with Albert Einstein? They are both really, really smart -- Albert Einstein was a smart man with great ideas and spaying or neutering your animal companion is a smart idea. Spaying or neutering your dog or cat is not only the right thing to do, but it shows that you know how much healthier your cat or dog will be post surgery. That makes you really smart -- just like Einstein. Spaying or neutering reduces or eliminates the possibility of reproductive system diseases. It also reduces an animal's urge to roam, making him less likely to get lost, injured or become a victim of abuse. And, it shows that your Einstein-like action is helping to end animal suffering. It is estimated that there are 6-8 million homeless animals entering animal shelters every year. That exorbitant number doesn't even begin to reflect all of the stray, feral and cast-off animals who never make it to a shelter. Twenty-one pit bulls were spayed or neutered today at the League's FREE spay/neuter day. None of those dogs will be contributing to the animal overpopulation crisis. I'm sure that Albert Einstein would agree that those are some pretty smart people who took advantage of a pretty smart idea. The next FREE spay/neuter day is set for Monday, April 11th.
