The No Kill Equation is the only model that has been successful in creating a No Kill community. As a result, No Kill will only be achieved when shelters fully and comprehensively implement the programs and services of the No Kill Equation.
If you want to make a difference do the following:
- Get informed: Read Redemption
- Be thorough: Follow the step-by-step guide to 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
