It is very common to see American own pets, not strictly to dogs and cats but other animals as well such as snakes and birds.

Raising a pet, especially a dog is very expensive. But as with anything anybody does you can do the duty right, somewhat right or just wrong. The high ownership of pets In America doesn’t necessarily mean that Americans got money to burn. In what I consider wrong and have seen is that you can raise a dog with a collar, leash and table scraps. But that is not the problem in my opinion. The problem lies within that these dog owners who receive puppies from other owners who did not get there dogs spayed/neutered. And in the same manner they will in turn most likely not spay/neuter the dog unless the dog is female and becomes pregnant. If she does become pregnant there are three possibilities: 1. they let the female dog give birth and find homes for the litter and spay the dog.
2. They surrender her to the local county pound.
3. They abandon her somewhere so that the county picks her up without a trace of the owner.
 
But let’s face it; if you’re feeding your dog’s table scraps and the only thing the dog owns is a collar and leash, the owner will just abandon the dog. To spay a dog is 185 bucks and to surrender her is 65 to the pound.

I donate dog food to the local dog pound (Tax write off, I’d rather get my taxes to something I believe in instead of fat politicians sipping scotch from GOLD rim cups) so I am friendly with the staff and the things that I have seen from being let in is terrible. It’s definitely heartbreaking.

So the right path to ownership starts with spaying or neutering dogs and cats. No matter what way you get them (breeder, friend, stray or pound) it’s the right thing to do. I did mention a “somewhat right” way to dog ownership and that is the belief of some dog owners that since they own a male dog that the problem will correct itself if we only spay the females which is totally flawed.
