No Kill 2025


What is it…….

What is it…….

The No-Kill 2025 Movement is a nation effort led by Best Friends Animal Society to make the entire United Sates a No-Kill country for dogs and cats by the year 2025.

In simple terms, “No-Kill” means:

  • Shelters are saving at least 90% of the dogs and cats that come through their doors.
  • The only animals being euthanized are those whose quality of life can not be improved, and human safety cannot be reasonably assured.
How You Can Help…..

How You Can Help…..

  • Spay/Neuter your pets.
  • Community Cat Programs: TNVR/TNR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return and Trap-Neuter-Return) 
  • Strong Foster Programs that move the animals out of the shelter into loving homes.
  • Behavioral support and training to prevent returns and help “harder-to place” animals.
  • Proactive adoption programs and marketing
  • Community support service, pet food pantries, assist with medical cost (so fewer animals are surrendered.)
  • Strong partnerships with shelters, rescues and sanctuaries like Healing Hearts Sanctuary SoCal.
