There are 95 counties in Tennessee and fewer than half have an animal shelter. Within those shelters, the euthanasia rate is five to six times the national average. In counties without shelters, the suffering by abandoned and neglected animals commonly includes drowning, shooting, freezing or starving to death in ditches, dumpsters, or at the end of a chain.
Together, we can stop the cycle of abuse. Through prevention.

Happy Spay Day!
Nash Lundberg, the official spokesdog for Spay Tennessee, is proud to announce a Tennessee House of Representatives proclamation naming February 26th, 2013 as "Spay Day" in Tennessee. The proclamation encourages more spay/neuter in our state and is signed by Beth Harwell, House Speaker, and Rep Jon Lundberg. You can view the proclamation at spaytennessee.org or at facebook.com/SpayTennessee .
Spay Day was originally started by the Doris Day Animal League and is now under the Humane Society of the United States as an international event promoting spay/neuter world-wide! Encouraged by this state House proclamation, there are Spay Day events and fundraisers all across our state to celebrate Spay Day this year. Look for a copy of the proclamation at a clinic or fundraiser near you!
Nash knows how many people in Tennessee love their pets and how many pets are homeless and unwanted in our state. "We are so thankful for Nash's support and to Rep Lundberg for getting this proclamation" says Julie Jacobson, Program Manager for Spay Tennessee. "The disease of pet overpopulation is the cause of much of the animal abuse and neglect we see in our state. Spaying and neutering is the best vaccine against that disease!"

Bedford, Cumberland, Jackson, Monroe, Rutherford and White counties have signed proclamations.
Our Mission is to end the killing and suffering of innocent dogs and cats by reducing the number of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens born in Tennessee every year. We are pleased to partner with shelters and rescues to realize a goal of every pet being spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Our philosophy is that an animal has not been successfully rescued until is has been spayed or neutered.
Nash is our new spokesdog.
He is a neutered yellow British Labrador whose caretaker is State Representative Jon Lundberg (R-Bristol). Rep Lundberg was 2012 Tennessee Humane Legislator of the Year! Nash accompanies Representative Lundberg to Nashville during the legislative session and attends meetings. Nash encourages Tennessee voters to keep up with animal issues and their legislators voting record by visiting humanetnpac.org.

BEAT the HEAT!
Did you know that female cats and dogs can get pregnant before they are six months old? And that spaying these females before their first heat practically eliminates their chances of mammary tumors and breast cancer in their lifetimes?
For better health and no risk of unwanted litters, please spay your females before six months of age. For more information, visit spayfirst.org or www.beat-the-heat.org/spay-neuter.
