But there will be too many animals if there is no more killing!?

The transformation into a No-Kill community involves a change in philosophy. Part of this change mandates that effort be directed to increase adoption of animals from shelters that would have killed, including off-site adoption, more public-friendly adoption hours and settings, more reliance on foster care and rescue groups. Shelter intake is reduced by promoting more low- or no-cost spay/neuter resources and providing resource to enable people to keep, rather than abandon or surrender animals.

Make no mistake -- this is not easy. It requires a lot of work from many individuals and organizations. It's a transformative process of ideas, thoughts, policies and systems within the animal welfare community.
