Why cant I get a dog at the pound without him getting "fixed"2007-11-25 2:55:46

Answers:

Since you're not a responsible owner-to-be, I guess it's fortunate that you can't get one. What a jerk.

Excuse me???!!! A humane society is looking out for the well being of the animals. Are you just looking for a free or cheap dog just to breed?? Come on!

---

It's a law in my state to stop all the dogs that are left to roam and get pregnant. They then have puppies with no care who die. This is cruel. Spaying is humane.

They require them to be spayed/neutered because of the pet overpopulation problem.

Why do you think the dogs are at the pound? Because they're unwanted. They spay and neuter the dogs so they wont produce any more unwanted puppies. Plus, a fixed dog is less likely to have behaviour issues then a dog who hasn't been fixed. and also, pretty much all of the dogs there are mutts. I have never seen a purebred dog at any Humane Society, not once. Not many people are into mutts today, and although people might adopt them when they're "cute and tiny", once they grow up they'll probably end up at the same place.

Look around the pound - see how many dogs/cats are there. The humane societies/pounds/shelters do not want to see MORE animals in their care. They are trying to control the population of animals.

The reason why so many dogs are at the pound is because people don't spay/neuter their dogs. It causes them to roam and get lost, but also creates many unwanted puppies that people dump there. Or dump there when they get "too big." Just not enough good homes for them all. And the statistic is that only one in 10 or one in 12 dogs ever has a permanent home in their life.
