There are tons of websites that show statistic of animals in shelters or rescues and honestly it's hard to know what the real statistical numbers are of animals in shelters, the number of pets euthanized each year and so on, so I will link a few web sites below for anyone interested to check out. The basic thing is that tons of pets are euthanized due to over population. Now I'm not telling anyone what to do but my personal thoughts are if you want a pet a rescue or animal shelter is a great place to look. It makes me sad to think of a poor animal not getting any love or attention. Also, if you have a dog or cat honestly they should be spayed or neutered because if not it is very well likely the number of pets in a shelter and getting euthanized will go up. Some Shelters are lowering their adoption fees which is a great way to get people to adopt! If you cant have a pet you could also look into volunteering. So basically if you are interested in getting a pet please consider adopting!
