63 % of all U.S. households own a pet (est.) 73.9 million dogs and 90.5 million cats, and pet
spending is at an all time high at an est. $38.4 billion in 2006 making the pet industry larger than
the toy industry - But 8 million to 12 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide
every year and approximately 5 million to 9 million are euthanized each year (60% of dogs and
70% of cats.

| WHY are so many companion animals dying in our shelters if our nation is spending so much money on them? |
According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy – Shelter
Statistics Survey, owner ignorance populates shelters with unwanted dogs and cats,
and pets that spend most of their time isolated from their family in crates or in the back
yard tied up are at greater risk of being surrendered to a shelter.
Many of the reasons that pet owners give for relinquishing their pets to shelters can be
easily resolved through educating new pet owners on the importance and practice of
responsible pet ownership skills. New pet owners may not be aware, knowledgeable
enough or prepared for the reality of owning a pet.
