The No Kill Companion Giveaway

As we prepare to release the 2025 edition, we are giving away our remaining inventory of 2024 edition copies.

The definitive guide to animal shelter issues, The No Kill Companion is a reference manual for legislators, policymakers, shelter managers, media, advocates, and other stakeholders.

Short encyclopedia-like entries address the definition of No Kill, opposition, challenges, controversies, and threats to success. The book also discusses the state of the movement, covers the costs and benefits of No Kill animal services, and provides model legislation, shelter assessment tools, and a primer on various sheltering issues.

Topics include:

• The definition of No Kill;

• History of the No Kill movement;

• State of the movement today;

• Sample assessment tools and protocols for running a municipal No Kill shelter;

• Animal protection legislation;

• Primer on various shelter issues, including temperament testing, community cats, and dog behavior;

• And more.

While supplies last, we will give away the remaining 2024 edition inventory to those who provide us with a mailing address. No Kill Sheltering subscribers and donors will receive priority.

Update: We have run out of copies. We will notify those who will receive a copy by email within the next several days.
