Frequently asked questions

What is a no-kill shelter?

These organizations state in their name or confirmed record that they are no-kill, which usually means they save at least 90 percent of the animals they take in.

How many no-Kill shelters are in the United States?

We list 30 no-Kill shelters in the United States. Listed only when the organization's official name, a verified correction or the source record confirms it.

Why might an organization be missing from this list?

We only list an organization here when the source data, the official name or a verified correction confirms it. If you know one that belongs on this page, open its listing and use "Suggest a correction", or add it through our submission form.

How does adopting work?

Start on the shelter's or rescue's own website: most post their adoptable animals there and on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet. Visit or call to meet an animal, then fill in an adoption application. Expect to show a photo ID, and if you rent, proof that your landlord allows pets. The adoption fee usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Fees vary by organization and by animal, so ask the shelter directly.
