DID YOU KNOW? If every pet in the U.S. were to have a home that would mean every family would have to own 7 dogs and 21 cats! If 92% of all dogs and cats were spayed or neutered the remaining 8% could provide enough puppies and kittens for the entire world. In 1998 just 16% of the animals from Kent County Animal Shelter were adopted or returned to their original homes. In 2002 42% were adopted or returned safely home! An average of 575 homeless dogs and cats are still being euthanized every hour at shelters across the nation. It is estimated that only 1 in every 6 cats is lucky enough to have a home. On average 15-30% of dogs ending up in U.S. shelters are reclaimed while cats average only 2-5% being reclaimed. Please keep a current tag with you address and phone number on your pets. It is a lifesaving act!
