According to the Human Society of the United States, 80-90% of owned dogs and cats in the United States are spayed and neutered, but the small percentage of animals that aren’t can lead to a big problem.

That proved true when L.I.F.E. House for Animals in Frankfort stepped in after getting a call in April about a house being overrun with dogs. Now, they’re stressing the importance of controlling the pet population.
