Did you know that each day
70,000 puppies and kittens are born? |
Where Angels Run is an Outreach Spay/Neuter and education
organization. Our organization concentrates on saving thousands of lives
through spay/neuter efforts. Our founder, Desiree Bender concentrates on addressing Pit
Bull welfare issues including rescuing pit bulls, working with law enforcement,
education through schools, and changing laws regarding dog fighting.Cats and dogs have the unique ability to reproduce
several times a year. They can go into heat as early as five months of age
- sometimes earlier, and they can have litters several times a year! That
is why there are so many homeless animals.
Did you know that each day 70,000 puppies and kittens
are born? Did you know that one unspayed female dog, her mate and all of
their puppies and their puppies' puppies can produce 67,000 in six years?
Did you know that one unspayed cat, her mate and all her offspring can produce
11,606,077 cats in nine years? This is only figuring if 2.8 kittens
survive out of each litter and each cat has two litters a year!
