SOLUTIONS

CRITERIA: Easy, Affordable, Educated on the solution

SPAY/NEUTER

• Easy: there’s always a local vet nearby that can do the procedure.
• Affordable: not always cheap. Some families may not be able to pay.
• Educated: Some pet owners are not comfortable with the idea of their pet going through surgery and would stay away from the idea because they are not certain with what goes on with the procedure

ADOPT FROM SHELTERS INSTEAD OF PUPPY MILLS

• Easy: there are local shelters with numerous amounts of animals to choose from.
• Affordable: Shelters are much cheaper than breeder’s. The average family would certainly be able to afford a pet from a shelter rather than an animal breeder.
• Educated: Many people are not well informed about shelters and think the animals there are not as good as the one’s offered by a breeder.

DONATIONS

• Easy: People can mail donations or drop them off at an organizations place of business.
• Affordable: Some families do not have enough extra money to donate to organizations. The extra money they do have needs to be spent elsewhere.
• Educated: People are often skeptical about organizations and their intentions. Citizens wonder if the money is really going to help animals and would rather just stay out of it, than risk being scammed.

BREEDER’S NEED TO BE MORE THOROUGH

• Easy: This would require a lot of work on the breeder’s part, along with taking up valuable time.
• Affordable: Breeder’s would have to spend more money looking into families wanting to adopt.
• Educated: Breeder’s know what to do when it comes to their job.
