Hundreds of stray and abandoned dogs are waiting for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society.
The population problem is caused, in large part, by the cost of spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted births.
"Being able to very safely and cheaply neuter most male dogs, that can make a huge difference in the number of dogs that roam the streets,” said Dr. Holly Mullin of the VCA Animal Hospital in Hotel Circle.
It costs hundreds of dollars to neuter a male dog, but a new injectable solution called Zeuterin could change that.
It stops sperm production forever with a simple, single dose.

I’m hanging onto mine for dear life.
The neighbor and her daughter both had total hysterectomies.
Listening to their tales of woe and misery have made a believer of me.
The subtle interplay of estrogen and progesterone are necessary for good health.
Most think you ‘run out of estrogen’ at menopause.
The opposite is true.
You become estrogen dominant due to the ~decrease~ in *progesterone*.
Most ‘female’ cancers are estrogen dependent.
Without the ‘youthful’ progesterone to balance it, it runs amok and unopposed.
We also now have a flood of ‘artificial’ estrogen mimics in our environments along with the unavoidable soy phytoestrogens popping up in far too many foods.
Thanks to store-bought foods and other items, we have lost touch with the nature of our own personal beasts.
BTW, Izzy’s brother, who is also Pookie’s uncle, just turned *16* on May 6th.
Never had a problem. Not that I have had many, but mostly girl dogs and boy cats, never had trouble.
My best dog I did not spay until she had developed breast cancer at 10, because I thought I might breed her, but never did.
MOST women had hysterectomies? I’ve never even had that impression.
Regarding cancer, never forget average death age has increased greatly in a short time. One is much more bound to get cancer the elder one is. Even happened to my dog being old.
Sorry, it wasn’t breast cancer, she had uterine tumors.
Will it work on obama voters?
This is good news for all the poor abused and unwanted of God’s creatures who have miserable short lives.
