Although most people are aware that there are more dogs and cats being born than there are people willing to adopt them -- the actual number of unwanted dogs and cats is staggering. For example, did you know:
A..An estimated 52 million dogs and 57 million cats live with U.S. families.
b.. For every human born, 7 puppies and kittens are born
.c.. One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in 7 years.
d.. One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in 6 years.
e.. More than 12 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters each year. Millions more are abandoned in rural and urban areas
.f.. As many as 25% of dogs entering shelters each year are purebreds
.g.. Approximately 61% of all dogs entering shelters are killed.
h.. Approximately 75% of all cats entering shelters are killed.
i.. It costs approximately $100 to capture, house, feed, and eventually kill each stray animal -- a cost which you, the taxpayer, eventually pay.

Dreampower Animal Rescue!!
Your Help is Needed for Some Not So Lucky Pets!
We've experienced a significant increase in the number of calls from people looking to surrender their companion animals due to foreclosures on their homes, or loss of jobs. We know the community needs Dreampower now more than ever, but we can only save as many animals as resources allow.
Please help us help these animals and assist these people in need! Your monetary gifts are always welcome to help with operational costs including veterinary care for foster animals, and to support our Community Assistance Project (CAP) that strives to keep animals in their homes by helping senior and disabled citizens with emergency veterinary care.
Homes are always needed to provide temporary foster care for animals in crisis. If you have a spare bedroom, laundry room, heated garage, or some other safe area in which to place an animal for a few days or a few months, please consider fostering. Dreampower provides all veterinary care, supplies, food and litter. You provide the home and much-needed tender loving care.
You are the key to helping us write happy endings for the animals of the Southern Colorado!
Checkout their website at Dreampower also to help or to find out more information about this wonderful organization

Looking for Denver Dog Parks click on me, or off leash areas look no further Statistics show that 1 in 3 families own a Pet, well here in Colorado I have to think that number jumps to every other family! Denver has been voted many years running the Top city in the U.S. to own a Pet and I believe it. The question is how to better improve your Pet's behavior, health or well being...that's where I come in.
Denverdaawg Here To Make Your Life Easier!
Why do I need a Pet Sitter or Dog Walker? If you are like most working Americans you are low on time and high on tasks. You might put in long hours at the office. This shortens the amount of time you spend engaging in dog walking with your best canine friend every day. Different dog breeds have different daily exercise requirements, so your pooch might need extensive dog walking or run in the middle of the day to keep from Behavior issues. How can you take your dog walking and be at work at the same time? You can hire a dog walker to be your dog walking replacement while you are at work. Often times a dog walker is more then just a necessity because many dogs that have limited dog walking time become irritable. Dogs need to have daily exercise and human connection through dog walking. This lack of exercise has let excess energy build up and can make your loving pet a little less loving.
With the Economy not doing so well it's affecting us all and yes Pets are Greatly affected also..How You Ask? There is something called the Forecloser syndrome that has a ripple effect. You loose your job, your home, often times a Pet is lost in the shuffle! With so many pets now being given up due to this huge downswing in the economy we all should be proactive in one form of another to help assist this pets in need! Animal shelters are at an all time high with many at overcapacity so pass along to others when deciding about your next pet, ditch the breeders and follow your heart to a shelter :)
