An estimated 6.5 million pets end up in US shelters, with approximately 1.5 million homeless pets being euthanized every year. While that number is painfully high, it is a stark contrast to the nearly 17 million killed in 1970.
This change represents a shift in society's attitude towards homeless pets. The no-kill transformation is on its way - and Animal League America is leading the charge.
It took decades of hard work, innovation, and conviction to bring about this dramatic change, and for almost three-quarters of a century, North Shore Animal League America and its no-kill mission have led the way.
All too often, no-kill is defined by what it doesn't do: kill adoptable, treatable pets. At Animal League America, no-kill means much more than that. It encompasses not only what we don't do, but also what we do — and what we do, and have done brilliantly for more than seven decades, is introduce innovative programs that advance our mission to Rescue, Nurture, Adopt, and Educate — programs that have become models of excellence and effectiveness throughout the no-kill movement.
But the No-Kill movement needs your help. Can you sign today, and pledge your support for North Shore Animal League America and this innovative approach to homeless animals?
