Support a Local Pet Lottery and dramatically decrease Pet Euthanasia numbers!

  • by: Audrey Phillips

Hillsborough County, FL,  Animal Control approximate kill figures from September, 2013: 600 dogs taken in (via strays, turn ins, surrenders), 300 euthanized; average 3,600/year. 700 cats taken in, 600 euthanized; average 7,200/year. Challenge: In addition to public education promoting spay/neutering and pet adoptions, shelters need more time and space to allow for the adoption or fostering of eligible pets. Fundraisers are great but do not supply the steady/dependable income necessary to lower number of kill shelters and euthanasia numbers. Possible Solution: Formation of a “Pet Lottery” to support local animal shelters by state and eventually nationally to provide a steady flow of funds to help increase the size of shelters giving animals more time for adoption or fostering thereby dramatically lowering kill shelter numbers for otherwise adoptable pets.
