To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall: Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care. Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability. Adhere to a "no-kill" policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals. Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy. Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
