Help Promote the Plate
Promote the pet plate! Letting others know about our plate will increase our sales. The
more plates purchased, the more funds will be available for spay/neuter of dogs and cats
adopted from animal shelters and nonprofit organizations, or dogs and cats belonging to
people with low incomes. We hope to decrease unwanted litters and reduce the 65%
euthanasia rate of dogs and cats in shelters and humane societies. Prevention of unwanted
litters would also stop the revolving door problem of the puppies and kittens of adopted
unsterilized animals ending up back at the shelter doors or on the streets. Fewer animals
entering the shelters would also have the benefit of saving taxpayer dollars. Still not
convinced? Visit our spay neuter section.
