How to End Pet Overpopulation

This is strong stuff, we know…but there is an answer – spay/neuter – and we’re leading the way.

Here in Napa County as well as throughout the United States we have a tremendous problem of pet overpopulation. Unfortunately, because people do not see great throngs of homeless animals wandering our streets they do not understand the suffering that many animals endure simple because they have no home of their own.

It is difficult for people to imagine what our municipal shelter is faced with on a daily basis. The shelter and rescue agencies simply cannot find home for all the animals that need to be adopted and shelters cannot continue to kill animals as a means of population control. 

The bottom line is that animals die daily because of irresponsible pet owners who think they can let their pets feely reproduce. The only way we can end pet overpopulation is to spread the word about the plight of homeless animals to encourage everyone to spay and neuter their pets.

Want to see the magnitude of problem “by the numbers?”

Napa Humane has operated a Spay/Neuter Clinic on California Boulevard in Napa for 15 years offering affordable spay and neuter services – the cornerstone for ending the suffering of homeless animals.  

Our services are subsidized by the generous contributions from our members and donors who understand the importance of this work – and for that we are most grateful.
