Stray Animals

Spay or neuter your pet to manage pet overpopulation and prevent stray animals.

Stray animals can:

• Carry diseases such as rabies and distemper
• Cause damage and destroy property
• Get in the road and cause accidents
• Attack people and other animals

Taking care of stray animals is expensive. Some neglected or sick stray animals are put down.
