No-Kill: How to Make a No-Kill Community a Reality
At the annual Best Friends National Conference, attendees hear firsthand from many leaders who have made great strides in putting their communities on the path to no-kill. But we don't want people who are unable to attend to miss out on some of the lessons, so we put together a series of no-kill playbooks. Each one provides an overview of how a given community has either already achieved no-kill or is well on their way. Now it's your turn to learn from both their successes and their missteps, so you can save lives right in your own community.
The following no-kill playbooks are in PDF format. Click on a link below to download.

We've seen tremendous momentum and success so far, and we are so close to achieving no-kill around the entire country. Knowing where each shelter and community stands not only helps determine the best way to move forward, but it also helps track the progress we’re making together.
