No-kill shelters reject euthanasia as a means of population control. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that approximately three to four million pets are killed yearly in shelters across the United States.[1] The No Kill Advocacy Center and Alley Cat Allies claim this number is closer to five million.[2] No-kill shelters are trying to end this killing by increasing the demand for shelter dogs and cats and reducing the supply by reducing the number of animals born and thus the number of animals which end up in shelters, and through increased spay/neuter, including low-cost/free help for low-income people
