Decent Essays
A lot of pets that go to shelters are sick, and run the risk of infecting other pets, so No-kill shelters are ideal because they don’t take in sick animals, so the overall health of pets is better in these shelters.

Even though, many No-kill shelters also offer intensive care for the selective pets they take in. One shelter in Atlanta, PAWS, says this about their care of pets, “We offer pet adoption services, low-cost vaccinations, spay and neutering, discount health preventatives,behavioral training, a pet dental clinic, a pet food bank
