Hope for shelter pets: Small actions, big impact

If just 6% more people adopted, we could end the killing of pets in shelters.

If you’re like most Americans, at some point in your life, you have donated to a nonprofit. Whether you give to find a cure for a disease, save a species on the brink of extinction, lift children out of poverty, or solve another societal challenge, you have donated because you want to enact change. Much of the changes that many nonprofits are valiantly working toward are long-term efforts whose solutions are still far out. But there is one cause where the finish line is in sight—and you have more power to solve it than you likely realize.
