Every year, an estimated four to six million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal care and control facilities in the United States. This problem is pervasive, and it remains a source of shame for our country.
The American Humane Association's Getting to Zero® Initiative is a national undertaking based on the profound belief that, within our lifetime, American society can reduce to zero the number of healthy or treatable dogs, cats and other companion animals that are euthanized in animal care and control facilities.
This program will help identify, support and obtain funding for the replication of community-based interventions that have demonstrated success in reducing the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals. These include adoption, foster care, spay/neuter, training, transfer and generally bringing community support where it is needed most.
Sign this petition today to support programs like American Humane's Getting to Zero® Initiative, because these animals all deserve a chance to live!
We signed the “End Euthanasia of Healthy and Treatable Animals!” petition!

I’m sickened and disgusted. How can you allow this to happen? How can you do this. Please stop the Holocaust already!! Animal Abuse, Sick Behavior AND THE KILLING OF THE ANIMALS. The World Is Watching You and we will take action.. How do you sleep at night? People who do these things to innocent animals (who scream and cry and feel the pain), should be arrested and put in jail. And I will work on this to happen.

Some animal shelters are asking for donations while they euthanize healthy animals. They claim to be preventing animal cruelty, well, euthanasia is cruel in itself. What a bunch of hypocrites! If you are going to put healthy animals to death, don't claim to be helping them!
