Tasks Completed
• Each team member contacted as many local shelters as possible• Photographed animals at shelters• Learned information about each individual
shelter
• Nationwide data collected on Internet• Promoted Annual Howl-o-Ween Carnival• Displayed poster at NWACC to promote
local animals available for adoption
Pet Overpopulation
• Every year millions of animals are needlessly disposed of, simply because there are not enough homes for them all– In seven years, one female cat and her
offspring can theoretically produce 420,000 cats
– In six years, one female dog and her offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs
