SUPPORT NO-KILL

72% of SHELTER ANIMALS ARE KILLED ANNUALLY

NO KILL SHELTERS NEED YOUR HELP!!

• No kill shelters receive less than 1% of government funding,
• Are usually over capacity and have to turn away more animals than they take in,
• Depend heavily upon volunteers workers, including veterinarians,
• Are being shut down at an alarming rate.
