Did you know that Wilkes
County animal shelter is a kill shelter??? There are thousands of animals euthanized each year.
Most are someone's unwanted pet or the offspring of pets that were not neutered or spayed.

Pet over-population occurs when there are more animals than homes available for them. Responsible pet ownership includes
spaying and neutering to help control pet over-population.
