"Moving" and "Landlord won't allow" are among the top reasons given by pet owners when taking their pets to animal shelters. The Humane Society of the United States gives useful information for landlords on the wisdom of accepting pets, and for pet owners on how to conduct a successful housing search.

The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH

Too many people don't bother spaying or neutering their pets because they have the mistaken notion that it is somehow unnatural and unfair to the pet. But, think about it...keeping the animal in our homes is what is "unnatural", and permitting indiscriminate reproduction in this "unnatural" environment is what is "unfair". New England Doberman Rescue gives us all the health and other reasons for spaying and neutering in an article by Eric Dunayer, VMD. Two other excellent articles follow on the same web page.
