Homelessness is the single leading cause of death for healthy cats and dogs in the United States. About five million animals are killed in our country's shelters each year. This video will open your eyes to the life and death decisions shelter staff make, day in and day out, about the fate of healthy or treatable companion animals that are not wanted. Here is an example of that decision process (produced at Maricopa County, Arizona, but indicative of what happens in Washington shelters and shelters throughout our nation).

Do what you can to make a difference and work to change our community —and all of Washington—to a place where no companion animal will ever be euthanized simply because there aren't enough adoptable homes for them. Follow the advise here: spay/neuter, adopt from the shelter or rescue organization, donate, volunteer ... give them a voice—your voice.
