The goal of no-kill shelters is to put pets into loving homes. Until that time, they may live at the shelter or in a foster home.

Which animal shelters have a no kill animal policy?

In my opinion, yes. Animals should not be killed if they can't get adopted. Put it this way, if you were in a foster home and you couldn't get adopted, would you want to be killed? No, so why should the shelters kill the animals? Exactly, they shouldn't because that is called abuse. So final answer: All animal shelters should become no-kill animal shelters.


Why animal shelter people kill animals?

In this econemy most people who are foreclosed on or down size cannot take their pets with them. This ahad lead to an influx of pets being abandoned at local shelters. Specifically in the south a shelter will take a heathly dog or cat and keep it for about three weeks. If no one has adopted it by that time they will put it to sleep in order to make room for more dogs and cats. Sometimes animals also come in sick or harmful to people and they are put down immediatly. The shelters do not try to harm the animals, but the more people that can't afford their animals the more end up in shelters and the more have to die. It is a sad fate, but one that cannot be avoided at this moment.
