Reopen Public Spay-Neuter to San Jose Communities
San Jose Municipal shelter is full of animals and is over capacity to the point that they stopped accepting animals in need from the community, rescues are operating in crisis mode.. Animals are dumped in increasing numbers all around San Jose and surrounding areas, not neutered, often sick, hit by cars to the point that it is distressing to our communities. At the same time – vital public spay-neuter has been suspended since 2019 and has never resumed, in spite of multiple community requests.
An un-spayed female cat can produce more than 2000 offspring in 4 years. An un-spayed female dog and her puppies can produce over 500 dogs in 3 years!
It is crucial that more people contact City Council and elected officials TODAY and ask them to PRIORITIZE Funding to reverse the unfolding Animal Overpopulation Crisis.
One of Key components for humane animal population management:
Low Cost Spay-Neuter availability and affordability throughout the communities is crucial at curbing overpopulation at its root. Increased funding for spay-neuter programs and ensuring access to affordable veterinary services throughout will reduce pressure on the shelter, our communities and rescue groups.
If we speak together – Our voice matters. Email, call, post to Elected Decision Makers Socials TODAY – For a better Future of Animals in San Jose.
