    Some say over a million a year, the sad fact that most animals are only held 3 to 7 days, it depends on the shelter and how crowded it is. However, we cannot blame the shelters as it is we the human race that does not spay and neuter, and continuously but from pet stores.

    National Stats
    The sad fact is once a puppy is past its cuteness; or a dog displays behaviors we do not know how to deal with, many canines are discarded like old newspapers. On average 100,000 dogs and puppies are listed on www.petfinder.com, daily. The National Council reports it on Pet Population Study and Policy, from the 5000 or so US agencies who responded to the survey, that over 2 million dogs enter shelters annually. Of those 27% are relinquished by owners, 42% are turned in by animal control, 31 by other sources, of these dogs, 56% are euthanized.
