With all the dogs cats etc... lodging in the pound it make good sense to get them fixed. Adopt a dog from the pound not a mill. There are so many dogs out there we surely don't need to add to the total. If no one adopts them then they DIE. Think it over, i volunteer at a local pound and its a shame how many die each day because people just have to have thet certain breed with a million health problems because my neighbor has one (the jone's), Get a mutt they are the best and are healthy sound animals..

Get it done. We had our dog spayed, and she's been the same ever since.

As the volunteer coordinator for a small no-kill animal shelter in Denver, SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PETS!!! So many people bring us litters of animals that simply aren't wanted. Two cats in the mattery of a few years, if not fixed and igven good weather, etc. can produce something like 8000 kittens by the time the offspring have cats, their offspring have cats, etc. ESPECIALLY with a boy dog around there, I'd spay, and spay QUICKLY.

I help with a labrador/dog rescue and transport dogs from shelters to foster homes or permanent ones. Some come from as far away as Missouri and go to Maine. But my real point is this---1400 dogs a day are put to sleep across the US because of the pet overpopulation. You will be doing your dog a favor---it will be healthier--and you will be doing other dogs a favor, as well.

As has been said, spaying your dog should only bring about positive changes, if any. If you're not breeding her it's better to have her fixed. No messes for you to clean up, no unwanted puppies and no chance of various reproductive tract cancers in your dog.
