Reduce Pet Homelessness
Monroe County Residents have done an outstanding job in getting their pets spayed &/or neutered. In 2009, animal intake at the Monroe County Animal Shelter was 5909; yet in 2024, animal intake was only 1951 at Eastbourne Animal Center.

Improve Pet Health by Getting them Spayed or Neutered
Studies show that pets who live in the states with the highest rates of spaying/ neutering also live the longest. Part of the reduced lifespan of unaltered pets can be attributed to their increased urge to roam, exposing them to fights with other animals, getting struck by cars, and other mishaps. Another contributor to the increased longevity of altered pets involves the reduced risk of certain types of cancers. For example, male pets who are neutered eliminate their chances of getting testicular cancer and it is thought that they also have lowered rates of prostate cancer, and female pets that are spayed, have lowered rates of mammary tumors.
