A veces, cuando quieres crear un cambio en tu comunidad, es difícil saber por dónde empezar. Juntos podemos hacer cambios sostenibles que salven vidas mientras creamos un marco de apoyo para las mascotas de la ciudad Weslaco y las personas que se preocupan por ellas. Los animales que terminan en el albergue de animales son parte de esta comunidad y los oficiales locales necesitan saber que usted se preocupa por toda la comunidad, , tanto como mascotas y personas. Ellos necesitan saber que usted está de acuerdo que el albergue de animales locales adopte políticas que disminuyan el número de perros y gatos sacrificados y que usted apoya la provisión de recursos necesarios para hacerlo. Algunos ejemplos de recursos incluyen programas comunitarios para gatos (para asegurar que los gatos sean castrados, vacunados y devueltos a sus hogares), programas de hogar temporal (para proporcionar alojamiento temporal a las mascotas antes de encontrar sus hogares permanentes), puntos de adopción y servicios y recursos progresivos para asegurar que la gente tenga lo que necesita para mantener a tus mascotas. Al abogar por estos programas y por la colaboración y el apoyo continuada a su albergue de animales local, usted puede formar parte de la creación de una comunidad más saludable para las mascotas y las personas. ¡Muestra tu apoyo firmando y compartiendo hoy mismo!

More than 440 other cities, counties and states have already passed laws to stop the retail sale of pets sourced from commercial breeding facilities. It's time for our community to do the same. Puppy and kitten mills are in business to supply pet stores. The pets in these facilities often spend their entire lives in dirty, crowded cages for the sole purpose of producing as many animals as possible for the retail pet trade. Pet stores that obtain animals from these facilities are not an asset to our community. These facilities also produce puppies that are often sick, causing unsuspecting consumers to have to care for a new pet in need of expensive veterinary treatment. Milled puppies can also spread campylobacter, a dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria that is contagious to humans. In the past several years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) traced a multi-state outbreak of Campylobacter to pet store puppies. This is a public health risk in a time where public health should be a top priority. A humane pet sales ordinance will not prevent pet stores from doing business, but it will reduce the burden on our shelters and rescue groups by increasing pet adoptions. It will also benefit our local ethical hobby breeders by allowing them to provide responsibly bred pets directly to those who cannot find what they are looking for through adoption. Please consider protecting pets and consumers by passing a humane pet sales ordinance for our community.
