No Kill Advocacy

"If every animal shelter in the United States embraced the No Kill philosophy and the programs and services that make it a reality, we would save over four million dogs and cats who are scheduled to die in shelters this year, and the year after that. It is not an impossible dream." ~ Nathan Winograd

A No-Kill Nation is Within Our Reach

Thanks to a newly-formed partnership between the Domestic Violence Crisis Center and Outreach to Pets in Need (OPIN), foster care services will be available for pets whose owners enter the DVCC's SafeHouses in Stamford or Norwalk... learn more here.

 

Keeping Women and Their Pets Together Through the Crisis of Domestic Violence

Diamond is a happy 9-month-old Pomeranian who recently spent three days in foster care. The pup didn't know it, of course, but that foster home—and the people who moved swiftly to arrange it—was a key factor in keeping her human guardian safe from harm, and possibly the reason she didn't end up in a shelter.
