5 ALARMING FACTS
about homeless dogs
Only 1 out of 10 dogs born will find a permanent home.
Six to eight million cats and dogs enter shelters each year, while only about half of them are adopted.
The main reasons animals are in shelters is because their owners give them up.
Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1.
Approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren't enough adoptive homes.
