Rounded Rectangle: •	Less space in shelters means more strays on the streets 
•	More strays on the street can add to the problem of overpopulation if they mate
•	Innocent animals are being euthanized every day
•	Less resources for those in need –such as animals from abusive  homes that need to be rescued
Rounded Rectangle: •	Foster an animal to help your local community
•	Foster a senior pet who may be left in the shelter for their age
•	Volunteer for a rescue group in your area that helps take animals out of the shelter to foster and adopt them out
•	If you are already a pet owner be responsible and spay/neuter all of your animals
