In California, thousands of animals are left homeless every year. According to a report from the California Department of Public Health, an estimated 80,000 cats and dogs are euthanized in California alone annually due to overpopulation in shelters. This crisis needs the attention of the State Government, local communities, and individuals also. We must enforce the importance of pet adoption and foster care, over pet purchase.

Adoption not only gives a home to an animal in need but also helps to free up resources within shelters for other animals. Moreover, fostering provides a loving temporary home to animals who require additional support before they can be adopted. Both procedures add a remarkable contribution to reducing the overpopulation of sheltered animals.

We're asking the California State Government to increase their promotion of pet adoption and foster care, to help address this crisis. Instituting education programs, increasing funding for shelters, and creating campaigns promoting the benefits of adoption and fostering can lead to significant changes in the current situation.

Join us in urging California to get more involved in promoting pet adoption and fostering. Sign the petition today, because each signature brings us one step closer to a society where every pet is given a loving home.
