Animals who are accepted into “no-kill” shelters may be warehoused in cages for months, years, or even the rest of their lives, becoming more withdrawn, depressed, or aggressive every day—further reducing their chances of adoption.

Socially conscious animal shelters accept every dog, cat, bird, rabbit, hamster, rat, and any other animal who comes through their doors. They don’t pick and choose, accepting only the young, healthy, behaviorally sound animals who might be quickly adopted, as “no-kill” shelters often do. They pledge to help every animal in need, even when the best that they can offer is a painless release.
