Pet Overpopulation

Pet overpopulation is a serious problem and the biggest challenge animal shelters face today. While it is a "fixable" issue, it requires all pet owners to be proactive and responsible.

Animal Care & Control strongly encourages pet owners to practice responsible pet ownership to help reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals. Spaying or neutering your pet is a crucial step in this effort.

Nobody wants these animals to be euthanized, but every day, dogs, cats, and litters of puppies and kittens are turned into shelters or picked up as strays running loose on city streets. Animal shelters are left to manage the pet overpopulation crisis created by irresponsible pet owners. We have too many animals and not enough loving homes, and we need the support of our community.

If you have questions about the benefits of spaying or neutering your pet, call Animal Care & Control at 210-658-0700. To have your pet spayed or neutered, contact:
