The History of the Doris Day Spay Day USA

Spay Day USA events will take place all over the nation on February 22. What is Spay Day? It is an annual spay and neuter campaign in the USA to help reduce the vast numbers of unwanted pets that are put to sleep each year.

More than 12 million unwanted dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year. Millions more than this are abandoned as strays in rural and urban areas. The Doris Day Foundation’s annual Spay Day USA is a national campaign to bring these numbers down.

There is absolutely no need for so many of these animals to suffer unecessarily. In many cases, people simply do not even think about the consequences of not having their pets spayed or neutered. If you don’t want a handful of kittens or puppies than take care of it.

If you don’t take care of it and end up with kittens than please find them good homes. So many people just let them roam and only escalate the problem.

If you find you have a pet that needs to be spayed or neutered then check with your local veterinarian. Many veterinary clinics run specials on Spay Day in support of the campaign.

If you’re not going to take care of the kittens that could be then make sure they aren’t born into a life of being unwanted.
