No Kill Philosophy

What is No Kill?

An end to the killing of all non-irremediably suffering animals.

Contrary to some negative press, please note that that the “no-kill” movement NEVER advocates for warehousing sick animals or aggressive animals.  It means an end to the euthanasia of animals that are not irremediably suffering.

What is No Kill's History?

The No Kill Advocacy Center was founded in 2004 by Nathan Winograd. Nathan had created the nation’s first—and at the time, only—full-service No Kill community, saving not only dogs and cats, including all community cats, but rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, horses, and others.

How Do We Know It Works?

We know this works because there are already many communities across the country that have achieved No Kill status using this formula. Won’t you help Loudoun join this elite group?
