SUMMARY : Declares the month of September 2009 as Adopt a
Shelter Pet Month, encourages all Californians to save a life at
a local shelter. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)There are hundreds of thousands of animals in California
shelters needing homes; and, nearly half of these animals were
euthanized because the animals were not reclaimed by their
owners or adopted by new owners.
2)Adopting a pet from a local animal shelter and caring for the
animal for the rest of its life is a responsible way to help
California's animal population, rather than contributing to
its crowding.
3)Animal shelters are focused on animal placement with most
providing low-cost adoptions so that everyone can have the
opportunity to bring a loving pet into his or her home; and,
adopting a pet from a local animal shelter is one way
Californians can make a difference not only in their own
lives, but also in the life of an animal in need.
