The Commissioners and Animal Control of Rowan County, NC: Stop killing healthy animals by implementing the No Kill Equation.

The Issue

Our tax dollars in Rowan County are spent in killing adoptable pets and we feel that those tax dollars should be reallocated to implement life saving alternatives that are proven in over 200+ communites nationwide. source: outthefrontdoor.com

A No Kill Community is one where:

  • Healthy and treatable dogs and cats are saved
  • Healthy and treatable free-living (feral) cats are saved

 

Today, No Kill is a humane, sustainable, cost-effective model that works hand in hand with public health and safety, while fulfilling a fiscal responsibility to taxpayers.

In every community where it is a reality, it has been achieved through rigorous implementation of programs and services which have come to be known as the “No Kill Equation”, which includes the following policies:

  • Working with Rescue Groups
  • Foster Care
  • Volunteer Program
  • Comprehensive Adoption Programs
  • Pet Retention
  • Medical and Behavior Programs
  • Public Relations/Community Involvement
  • Trap-Neuter-Release
  • High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter
  • Progressive Field Services/Proactive Redemptions
  • A Compassionate Director

 

The communities that have adopted the above policies have had great results and we want the same for Rowan County, NC! To learn more visit fixrowan.org and join the conversation on Facebook at facebook.com/FixRowan/
