SCHMETZ PETZ

Welcome to SCHMETZ PETZ!

Please spay and neuter!

Over 70,000 puppies and kittens are born everyday. There is no way enough homes can be found for all of these animals. Anually over 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.  Even pot-bellied pigs have started showing up at animal shelters and livestock auctions.

Spaying and neutering saves lives and can drastically improve your pet's health and life expectancy. Altering your pet neither makes them lazy or changes their personality.  On the contrary, they become more affectionate and are less likely to stray or get in fights.
 
Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of uterine and ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer.  Neutering a male reduces the risk of both prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.

We are a 501-c, non-profit organization helping to place and provide sanctuary to unwanted and abandoned pets. 

Our goal is to respond to the needs of pot-bellied pigs, dogs and other pets that need our help in some form or another.  We respond to animals in need of rescue from abandonment or an abusive situation.  We also recieve calls from pet owner's who must give up their pets and want to find loving homes for them.  We strive to find them a better situation by providing shelter for these animals in our facility, setting up a foster situation, or coordinating adoption to suitable new owners.
