I want to start my own No Kill shelter or group. What do I do?

There are many resources on how to start a non-profit organization. To get you started, visit www.nolopress.com or click here.

I have a pet I no longer want or have found an animal that needs help. Is there a No Kill shelter in my area?

To find a No Kill shelter, you can do an internet search. Please keep in mind that some shelters call themselves No Kill but may be killing sick, injured or behaviorally challenged animals since they have not fully implemented the programs and services of the No Kill Equation. You should consult our Matrix to determine what injuries and illnesses are savable and ask the local shelter if they will treat those. You should also try to find the animal a home. A guide to do so is provided here.

Although we are not currently hiring and do not keep resumes on file, we do post jobs for agencies which have or are in the process of embracing the No Kill philosophy.
