since 2011, when 3.9 million mill
dogs entered shelters. The ASPCA
estimates that slightly less than half of the dogs that enter
CA slightly
U.S. animal shelters (1.6 million) are adopted each year. Some
shelter dogs are strays who are ultimately returned to their
owners, but the ASPCA estimates that 670,000
are euthanized each year. Dog lovers can
help to lower that number by choosing
to adopt their next dogs from a
shelter rather than buying from a
breeder. The American Pet Products
Association notes that 34 percent of
dogs purchased each year are obtained
through breeders. By choosing
to adopt dogs from shelters
rather than purchasing them from
breeders, dog lovers can help reduce
overcrowding at shelters and
greatly reduce the number of dogs
that are euthanized each year.
