Animal Shelters That Don't Euthanize

No-kill animal shelters, or shelters that do not euthanize shelter animals under any condition save old age, are hard to locate because they are hard to maintain. These shelters depend on government and community financial support. The goal of the No Kill Network is to help all shelters become financially independent enough to transition into no-kill shelters. No-kill shelters are listed by state on the No Kill Network website.
