Why does my new pet have to be spayed/neutered?
State health code (Texas Health and Safety code, Animal Sterilization Act, Section 828) requires that all animals be sterilized, if adopting from a shelter.

Spaying/Neutering is encouraged at an animal’s early age for the better health of the pet.

It helps to greatly reduce our current overpopulation problem.
