Our shelter is committed to saving every animal in our care who can be saved.  We do not euthanize healthy or treatable pets even at the owner's request.  We only euthanize a pet if:
  • A veterinarian has assessed that there is no chance of recovering an acceptable quality of life, or
  • It would be clearly inhumane or unsafe not to do so immediately, or
  • In cases of irremediable canine aggression when (1) a veterinarian has eliminated medical treatment as a solution: (2) rehabilitation by a specialist in canine behavior has failed; and (3) staff and public safety cannot be reasonably assured, or other management protocols seriously compromise quality of life.
The reason our shelter falls below the 90% [total save rate] benchmark is:
  • We have a neonatal kitten program.  Neonatal kittens have fragile immune systems and often arrive at the shelter as orphans and with compromised health.  We make every effort to treat and care for kittens until they are eating on their own and healthy enough to go to a foster home, but some lives are still lost despite those efforts.
  • We accept and provide medical care to old, injured and sick animals.  Some do not make it, despite our best efforts.
  • We provide a compassionate end-of-life service for members of our community who request euthanasia and could not otherwise afford the service at a veterinary clinic.
  • We provide hospice care for animals and are responsible for end-of-life care for that population.
