Nueces County, TX: Dogs in Need of Rescue

When we call for a No Kill nation, we are specifically referring to the promise and success of open-admission No Kill Equation sheltering: https://youtu.be/JCTt5JppNA8?si=RarWDDab_7XK4WKL .

We are NOT referring to the fundraising scam where “managed intake,” “community sheltering,” and “Human Animal Support Services” are euphemisms for “no entry” and where increases in placement rates are dependent on animals being dumped and left to suffer on the street: nokilladvocacycenter.org/the-toolkit/give-me-shelter.

If the goal of a No Kill nation is to truly mean something, we must stay rooted in reality: a placement rate cannot be considered ethical if it comes at the cost of abandoning the very animals shelter staff are responsible for protecting. These animals do not cease to exist simply because municipal shelters fail to count them. They are still suffering, still dying, and their lives still matter.

Meet Ramsey ID # 21176
This adorable pooch is ready to be adopted or rescued! Ramsey loves being outside, rolling in the dirt, and running in circles chasing her tail. He has all the fun, playful puppy energy and would benefit from some basic training as he grows. With love and patience, he’ll make a wonderful house pet and loyal outdoor companion.
