It is with 20 years as a State Certified Animal Control Officer that I address this topic. Originally “No Kill Shelter’ was a term used to appease the public! That animals would be brought to the shelter as we would not euthanize versus turning animals out onto the streets! It worked for a while but then shelters started charging a surrender fee! The fee inched up and that increased turning animals loose again. The public has caught on to there is no such thing as a “No Kill Shelter”. There is only so many runs or cages, so too many animals, so some must be sacrificed to make room, the more aggressive will be put down because of liability, some have major health issues that could cost thousands so some Board or Council determines those animals should be put down, sometimes the budget is over so cut back on mouths to feed, sometimes the rescue groups don’t show up, more animals killed. Spay and neuter is helping a lot but not soon enough! Good luck with your endeavors.
This is a step in the right direction. It’s vital that every community has a safe haven for animals–one that accepts every animal in need, without restrictions, and has responsible adoption policies, including careful screening to ensure that animals end up in good hands.
I hope other communities adopt this blueprint. No-kill shelters do animals no favors. They all deserve a place where they’re safe, fed, and have a chance of finding a home.
THANK YOU!!! PLEASE STOP KILLING THEM!
Good. I volunteered at a “no-kill” shelter many years ago. Animals were turned away because there just wasn’t enough space for them all. We have to be merciful—and realistic. Animals need more than to simply exist—they need loving families, toys and attention, proper veterinary care, nutritious food, and room to run and play. Simply not euthanizing animals doesn’t prevent animals from being born. The only way to eliminate the need for euthanasia is to spay or neuter. Shelters and animal protection groups won’t be forced to euthanize so many animals if we bring the numbers down.
