The Stray Dog Issue - WSPA

The plight of strays is one of the most visible animal welfare issues in the world today. Of the estimated 500 million dogs in the world, approximately 75% are strays. In many countries the majority of stray animals have been abandoned by their owners or are owned but allowed to roam freely. The unsupervised dogs then breed, resulting in unwanted puppies.

WSPA works to provide education about responsible pet ownership: dog identification, vaccination and neutering means fewer animals will end up on the street. Our vision is that all countries will use effective and cruelty free methods of stray population management that address the roots of the problem.
