Reforming Animal Control

The No Kill Equation is the only model that has been successful in creating a No Kill community. As a result, No Kill can only be achieved when citizens demand that their shelters fully and rigorously implement the programs and services of the No Kill Equation.

If you want to make a difference, do the following:

• Get informed: Read Building a No Kill Community.
• Be thorough: Follow the step-by-step guide Reforming Animal Control.
• Be successful: Use the proven model of the No Kill Equation.
• Don’t settle: Demand endorsement of the U.S. No Kill Declaration.
• Require accountability: Seek passage of the Companion Animal Protection Act.
