“A Solution to Pet Overpopulation on the Mountain”
Animal Alliance-South Cumberland
Spay/Neuter Program  

Since October, 2008:         555 Dog Spays             184 Dog Neuters
345 Cat Spays              137 Cat Neuters         1,221 Total

 1,221 Total dog & cat spays and neuters
in 35 months
What a difference this is making!

 The Humane Society of the United States statistics show the following:

 The average number of litters a fertile dog can produce in ONE year is 2.
The typical number of puppies in a dog litter is 6-10.

 The average number of litters a fertile cat can produce in ONE year is 3.
The average number of kittens in a cat litter is 4-6.

 345 cat spays x 3 litters per year x 4 kittens = 4,140.

 In 35 months, AASC has theoretically reduced the number of unwanted puppies and kittens on the mountain by 10,800.

 What if only half of these puppies and kittens
had been born?
How many shelters would we need to build just to care for the unwanted ones?
In 6 years, one female dog and her offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs.
In 7 years, one female cat and her offspring can theoretically produce 420,00 cats
There just aren’t enough homes for them all!

     Over 1,200 pets have been spayed or neutered through the Animal Alliance program since our first transport October 2008. Using statistics from the Humane Society, in theory, we have reduced the number of unwanted puppies and kittens
 by over 10,800 animals.
Numbers are great, but it's the stories behind the numbers that make this program so worthwhile and important.
