QUESTION: What are the benefits of spaying and neutering?

ANSWER: Pets live longer, and certain health issues are eliminated or decreased. Pets are often found to be more affectionate and less likely to run away from home and get into fights. Spaying and neutering help our community save money by controlling overpopulation, and shelters are less likely to be burdened with a surplus of animals.
