Delaware Is Now The First US State To Achieve 'No-Kill' Status for Shelter Pets

Delaware saved over 90% of the animals that enter its shelters – with the help of the Best Friends Animal Society – to earn its 'No-Kill' status.

Safe Haven for Cats is a no-kill cat shelter that takes cats and kittens of all ages and gives them medical treatment, they also provide a Pet Pantry for people who are having trouble feeding their pets due to poverty, they have spay/neuter deal days, microchipping, classes on training your cat - I got my big doofus cat there, they are awesome and please give them money.

Hi Dr, I hope this isn't in the wrong place. I work at a shelter and we came in this morning to the news that one of our favourite, perfectly healthy dogs was euthanized because she was 'too nervous' but the dog was lovely.. This keeps happening. Supposedly we're no kill, is okay to be second guessing this job?..

It’s better to be second guessing your job than second guessingyourself.

An unfortunate reality of animal shelters is that individualanimals are euthanized. ‘No-kill’ is a bit of a loaded word,because in order for a shelter to be ‘No-kill’ they are generallyeither:

Only taking in the very most adoptable animals anyway, leaving less adoptable animals to be sent elsewhere, euthanised elsewhere, or abandoned.

Not euthanising animals that should be (chronically unwell, poor welfare state or a mental state that can’t be rehabilitated). I see many new or inexperienced rescues fall into this trap.

Secretly an animal hoarding enterprise.

Shelter workers will often find themselves getting attached to residents, and each find their own ways to cope with coming into work after a day off and finding a favorite animal isn’t there. Some ask whether they were adopted, others prefer not to know. It’s one of the factors that contribute to burn out in these scenarios. Especially when you can’t take every dog or cat you like home to spare them.

So it is perfectly fine to question your job, whether that’s looking at how the shelter runs in the bigger picture (are staff biased against certain breeds for example) or whether the job is right for you, personally.

S6E4: The Challenges and Joy of Fostering Rescue Animals

If you’re a no-kill animal shelter or an animal rescue group and you’ve got more animals than kennels to keep them in, or you’ve got dogs or cats with health or behavioral problems that need sorting out to render the animals adoptable, what are you going to do? You’re going to call an animal fosterer like Rena Curtis to take that animal in, de-traumatize it, teach it some manners, and get its health problems sorted out so it can go a-courtin’ its forever people. Tune in as we discuss this hard, sometimes frightening, occasionally heart-wrenching, but ultimately satisfying work, why there are so many more dogs and cats than homes to put them in, and what we can do to change that situation.

Delaware just became the first no-kill state for shelter animals

All brick-and-mortar shelters in the First State have at least a 90% save rate.

“Linda Torelli, director of marketing for the Brandywine Valley SPCA, which has three locations in Delaware and cares for more than 14,000 animals each year, credited a multipronged approach with helping the First State achieve no-kill status — and its citizens.“ ~ Jen Reeder
