Not to side with PETA on this, but you might be surprised at the
euthanasia rates at your local "Humane Society"/ dog pound. My wife
brought home a puppy from the pound yesterday (she'a a volunteer
dog-walker) to be fattened up so he'd be adoptable. Seems that people
see a few ribs on the side of an otherwise healthy puppy, and won't
even think about adopting it. So they're put down. Policy. Spay and
neuter, folks. Tom, getting a little rain in Tucson!
