GLENN PERRETT PUBLICATIONS CO-ORDINATOR, OSPCA Many animal shelters and pounds in Ontario are full of adoptable dogs and cats. And while the summer months often see an increase in the number of animals available for adoption, this summer appears to be worse than usual. The unusually large number of animals needing homes means that many of them will have to be killed. In 1991 over 120,000 (a conservative estimate) dogs and cats were destroyed in animal shelters and pounds in Ontario. This means that an average of more than 325 pets are killed in Ontario each and every day in these facilities. The vast majority of these animals were young, healthy, friendly pets - very adoptable. The reason that they have to be killed is simply one of • supply and demand. The supply of adoptable dogs and cats is far greater than the demand from responsible people who are seeking to provide a pet with a good, caring home. The end result is that thousands of animals, through no fault of their own, must be killed. Is there a solution? Sure there is. A major contributor of “unwanted” animals is the irresponsible pet owner who allows his/her pet to have a litter of puppies or kittens. With exceptions made for animals bred for show (by responsible breeders) or - upon the recommendation of a veterinarian, all dogs and cats should be Gail. Also went with friends to Cobourg.

If you are interested in adopting a dog or cat and can provide the pet with a good home, please visit your local animal shelter or pound. Chances are, they have a large selection of friendly pets waiting patiently to be part of a loving family. There are numerous animal shelters and pounds province-wide that are currently experiencing crowded conditions. While the summer is often a slow time for adopting pets, this summer is particularly bad for several animal shelters and pounds. The recession is partly to blame. More people cannot afford to feed and care for their pets so they take them to their local animal shelter or pound. This summer is also looked upon by many prospective pet owners as not a good time to adopt a pet. Many people feel that they are busy enough with their vacations and summer activities. On the contrary, this is often a good time to welcome a pet into the family. yVjRP’' Scrimge our's SSSSk Food MarketAw 523-4551 Values in effect from Monday Aug. 3/92 to Saturday August 8, 1992.

Children on summer holidays can also spend lime with their new pet - again assisting the animal in more readily adapting to its new home and family. All of this will likely result in the pet being comfortable in its home when its owners go back to work and/or school after the holidays. So, if you are looking to adopt a dog or cat and are sure/that you can responsibly provide for the pel, why not visit your local animal shelter or pound? There is sure to be a good selection of friendly dogs and cats eagerly waiting to be part of a loving family. And there are few experiences more gratifying than rescuing and caring for a pel. Just remember that the commitment is a large and long one, often fifteen years or more, that should not be entered into lightly. However, all of the love and care you provide for your pet will be returned several times over - as dogs and cats truly are wonderful creatures and faithful friends.
