I know of many veterinarians who don't believe in neutering dogs or cats until they have finished growing because neutering or spaying too early can cause various health problems. I also know of dog owners who adopted dogs from dog shelters and they were neutered or spayed very early. They had health problems. Some had to be on hypothyroid medications the rest of their life.
I don't support this ordinance at all. I am a responsible dog owner and my dog doesn't get loose and he is in control at all times. He isn't out wondering around. I don't want to get my dog fixed until he has finished growing. I think that he is too young to get fixed yet. It is not in his best interest to have this procedure done. I love my dog very much and I want what is best for him. I don't want him to suffer from poor health and for him to suffer. I love him too much. Six months is too young.
It is the irresponsible dog owners that they have to go after , not the responsible ones. They can't punish the majority for what a minority of people do, that is to allow their pets to reproduce uncontrollably.
re: the mortgage meltdown, there was stories about that in the la times and how many people had to give up their pets when they couldn't keep their house anymore and the same thing happened with people who were renting and were kicked out because of default on the mortages by the owners. They also couldn't keep their pets. So into the shelters they went.
