[bordercollie05]

Hi,

I'm doing a project for my composition 2 class. I need to collect 20 surveys answering the following questions. I have 12 so far, so I need 6 more. In addition to answering the questions, please state:

1. Sex

3. Racial Background (african-american, asian, caucasian, latino, native american, pacific islander, other (specify))
4. Community type (rural, suburban, urban)
5. The country you are from

Here are the questions:
1. If you currently have a pet, how did you obtain it? If you currently don't have a pet, or you wanted to get another one, where would you go to get it?
2. Do you think it is important that dogs and cats are spayed/neutered? why or why not?
3. If there was a big change in your life, such as moving or having a baby, what would you do with your pets?
4. What is pet overpopulation?
5. How often should pets go to a veterinarian?
6. Where is your area shelter or humane society?

If you do not want to post here, feel free to send me the info by PM. All of the information will be completely anonymous for the project. I have to write a paper on the data I collect. Thanks so much for your help!!

2. Do you think it is important that dogs and cats are spayed/neutered? why or why not? - Yes because too many outside pets continue to have offspring that on't be cared for. From what I understand, it also lowers the rise of problems later for the pet.
