FAQs
What does “No Kill” mean in practice?
No Kill means prioritizing lifesaving outcomes for all healthy and treatable animals. It requires that euthanasia never be used as a solution for lack of space, staffing, or resources. A No Kill community invests in prevention, foster care, adoption, medical support, and humane policies to reduce unnecessary loss of life.
Is No Kill realistic in a city like San Antonio?
Yes. While San Antonio faces significant challenges related to animal overpopulation, many cities with similar conditions have made measurable progress using proven No Kill strategies.
What makes your organization different from animal shelters or rescues?
No Kill San Antonio is not a shelter or rescue. We focus on education, advocacy, transparency, and community engagement. Our role is to support lifesaving systems, promote best practices, and empower the public with information that helps reduce unnecessary euthanasia at a community level.
Are you a nonprofit organization?
Yes. No Kill San Antonio is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations directly support our mission and are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
How can I help if I can’t adopt or foster?
There are many ways to help beyond adoption or fostering. You can support lifesaving efforts by volunteering, donating, sharing educational resources, advocating for humane policies, or supporting local rescue and shelter partners. Every action contributes to creating a more humane community.
