I am getting Henry neutered, no doubt about it.
I just don’t know when. I was going to get him fix as soon as his testi’s dropped, about 6months (3 months away) BUT so many people are telling me not too. People keep saying let him mature with the correct testosterone then get him neutered, but I don’t know.
I never had to do this stuff, my mom and older brother took care of it…those who have neutered/spade their babies, what do you think I should do?
“Spayed or neutered pets are typically better behaved, calmer, and more affectionate than those that are not altered.”

Tenn. shelter ships dogs to shelters in Northeast - Boston.com
boston.comKNOXVILLE, Tenn.—A shelter in Knoxville dealing with overcrowding is sending dogs and puppies to shelters in northeastern states, where better spay and neuter programs means more room is available for adoptable dogs. Breeanna Brown, the placement coordinator for Young-Williams Animal Center, is taking 24 dogs and 16 puppies this weekend to be dropped off at shelters in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The dogs that have been at the shelter the longest are the ones being chosen for the trip this weekend, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports “In our Northeast states, they are a few years ahead of us on spay and neuter programs,” Brown said. “They don’t have unwanted litters, so they are low on (adoptable dogs).”
The South needs to improve on this score. Visiting friends who have a horse farm in Monticello, Georgia, about an hour outside of Atlanta, today, we met the remnants (remnants because not all survived) of a litter of extremely cute, approximately eight-week old blue tick hound puppies who were just dumped at the side of the road. Our friends rescued them and are now trying to find them homes. But how could any human being just dump new-born puppies on the side of the road?
“The cost of caring for a litter of puppies or kittens far outweighs the cost of surgery as does the cost of treating one of the many forms of cancer that spaying or neutering helps prevent. ”

petcareftmyers.blogspot.comFacts on why spaying and neutering is important not only for pets, but also for the communities they live in.
Sometimes I think, "Oh, maybe we shouldn't have spayed Lia. She has such unique genes and she could have such interesting looking puppies."
Then I realize that that’s stupid, and that there are already too many dogs without homes in the world, and that spaying is ALWAYS the right thing to do, unless you are a dog breeder. Even then, some breeders shouldn’t be able to touch dogs. At all. Ever.
Dear tumblr people,
Spaying = removing the ovaries i.e. rendering the animal infertile. Most spays carried out are in actually ovo-hysterectomies, but sometimes the uterus is left in.
Castration = removing testicles i.e. rendering the animal infertile
Neutering = either of the above or, more recently, including chemical neutering [chemical castrations are more common]. Saying “please spay or neuter your dog” doesn’t quite work as spaying is neutering; it would be better to say “please neuter your dog” or “please “spay or castrate your dog”.
Oddly this confusion seems more prevelant from non-Europeans, but I’m sure that’s just to do with the sources I’ve read rather than actually being the case.
