No-Kill GC

In 2021, about 200 dogs and 500 cats were euthanized in Galveston County shelters just because they didn't have a safe place to call home. We need your help to change that!

Lifeline of Galveston County is leading the no-kill movement by:

Running lifesaving community programs that keep pets out of the shelter.
Working closely with local municipal shelters to market, advertise, and place their most at risk pets.
Creating a village of volunteers dedicated to closing the no-kill gap.
Educating and mobilizing community members on behalf of pets in need.

The Numbers

Over 37,000 dogs and cats are still dying in Texas animal shelters annually, making Texas the second highest kill state in the country.

Galveston County, Texas.

The "No-Kill Gap" is the number of pets that need to be saved for the county to reach no-kill status.

If we could work together to save 425 more dogs and cats each year, Galveston County could reach No-Kill status.

The path to achieving no-kill Galveston County

Animal Shelters, local rescue groups, and individuals like you are working together to save homeless dogs and cats in Galveston County. Together we can create a no-kill community.

What Does No-Kill Really Mean? No-kill, as a principle, means saving every dog and cat in a shelter that can be saved. However, it's important to have a clear bench mark to make this easy to measure. That is why when a shelter, city, or county reach a 90% live-release rate (meaning 90% of pets are leaving their shelter(s) alive), they are considered "no-kill."
