No-kill is within reach, thanks to you

Nearly 2 out of every 3 shelters around the country have reached no-kill, an all-time high!
Working together, we can continue to save the lives of homeless pets in communities like yours – and nationwide – ensuring that the places we call home are better for everyone, pets included.

Adopt

When you adopt a pet from a rescue group or animal shelter instead of buying from a breeder or puppy mill, you’re providing a lifesaving second chance.
