First and foremost, it’s important to understand that “no-kill” does not mean no euthanasia. Some organizations define “no-kill” as a 90% live-release rate while others use less stringent standards.  Generally, a no-kill shelter typically does not euthanize animals who can be adopted, reserving euthanasia for animals who are terminally ill or suffering from a life threatening medical condition.

​

We strive for - and exceed - the 90% or more rating. We do our utmost to care for animals who come to us - even those who may be deemed "unsaveable". We have put huge amounts of time and money into saving animals who, in other situations, may not have had their second chance. We will always put the health, safety, and hope for an animal as our first priority.
