Irresponsible animal owners and prospective animal adopters that try to acquire specific breeds of animals, merely to breed unregistered cats or dogs for money, regardless of the well-being of both Sire and the whelper. Why Mr. Barker emphasized the urgency of getting your pets spayed or neutered is because this act decreases euthanasia and increases the number of adopting beautiful pets through the S.P.C.A. Once you've chosen your pet, the S.P.C.A absorb the cost of vaccinating your adopted pets, incl. having them getting ALL vital shots, microchipping, and any innoculations necessary. The price for such a well-treated pet with all medical attention, will be around $50-$100.00 all inclusive. You just cannot get a gorgeous, healthy pet for that cost, anywhere. Have fun : )
