Today is a no kill day for animals in open admission shelters and rescue organizations all over the United States. Roughly 700 groups have taken the pledge on the Just One Day site to kill no healthy/treatable animals for at least today. Here in South Carolina, more than a dozen groups took the pledge, including my own county facility – the Walter Crowe Animal Shelter. I am featuring some of their animals, found on Petango, below. The shelter is closed to the public today but will be open tomorrow at 10am.
The Just One Day Facebook page will be open for posting the success stories as they happen at your local shelter all day. Animal Wise Radio will be broadcasting live from 12 noon to 6pm Eastern time, highlighting the work being done by participating organizations.
This thread will be open all day for sharing anything related to the Just One Day event. I would especially like as many people as possible to post about their local shelter.
Is your local shelter participating?
Are they offering adoption fee discounts or running other promotions today?
If your shelter is not participating, did you ask? What was the response?
Regardless of whether your shelter is going no kill for the day, please feel welcome to share pets at the facility by posting links to the animals’ online listings.
