With over 840,000 pets abandoned each year in California (this is conservative, since many of the private organizations fail to report), our city and county shelters (which does not include spcas, humane societies, etc.) fill up with many more dogs and cats than there are homes. The result is overcrowded shelters and the worst kinds of animal suffering—including the deaths of over 450,000 animals each year, many of them healthy and adoptable. Aggressive stray dogs roam through many neighborhoods, increasing the danger of dog bites and the transmission of rabies. And taxpayers spend $250 - $300 million to house abandoned cats and dogs in shelters and then sadly, euthanize (kill) the majority of these pets. It's the third highest reimbursable mandate in the state This problem has a common sense solution... Please vote for AB 1634, the California Healthy Pets Act.

In all honesty I think the real crooks are the breeders who are out there making money off pure breds and the people who adopt from them that's why shelter animals are dying crooked breeders and the people who buy them. Everytime you buy off a breeder one more of these shelter animals wil die,

Why?? There are just as many unhealthy and overly extremely bred breeds out there with just as many health problems if not more then un-registered mixes.
Can you honestly say a pug or bulldog with little to no stop in their noses is HEALTHY?!?!? (for those who don't know what a stop is, it's the "bridge" of the nose)
Even pure bred dogs that are "breeding quality" in some breeds are NOT worth breeding. Eg: most pugs, bulldogs & more. These breeds are going to the gutter with the extremes people are breeding them to. It's not that any breed mix or not is "plagued with genetic issues" it's the breeders breeding dogs (pure breed or not) with BAD genetics and without health testing to rule it out. I'm for Ethical breeding not breeding just because they have a dog and it's cute (*KC reg or not) *rolls eyes*
NO on AB1634! NO NO NO! It'll get rid of pets .. and that's not right! It might help the overpopulation problem, but eventually we won't have hardly any dogs left at all .. I do not believe in laws like this, they're inhumane and invasive .. it's not right! Look up the "Irresponsible" commercial that's against AB1634. NO ALL THE WAY ON THIS BILL!
i may not be from CA but there are 2 sides to every story. there needs to be a compromise somewhere between both parties not an i'm right & you're wrong mentality. if we are truly on the animals side then lets show it. if the bill that increases vet services passes just think of how many more will end up in shelters to be killed cause greedy people couldnt figure another way to balance the budget. EVERYONE NEEDE TO WAKE UP AND SMELL WHAT THEY'RE SHOVELING!!
omg i know! this is o sad i want a dog soo bad and im begging my mom to get me one from a animal shelter she is going to(:! i loved this video!!! im favorting!
Propaganda from the AR groups? My daughter rescued two BEAGLES from the pound...roughly a quarter of the dogs in the pound are AKC...and mutts need love just like the others! Where is your sense of humanity?? P.S. The dogs are very sweet, and yes, they have been fixed.
I am active in dog rescue. My puppy was pulled from the shelter the day she was to be euthanized. (she's an adult dog, no one wants the adults) She was shy and sick and super thin. Now she's a big, happy girl and I can't imagine life without her. People who let their animals breed unwantonly don't love their animals. It's like letting every teen have babies every 10 months (or teen boys getting as many girls pregnant as possible) Who would take care of those babies?
