Shelter killing is believed to be the leading cause of death for healthy dogs and cats in the United States. Indeed, some five million dogs and cats are put to death in our nation’s shelters every year. The numbers killed are staggering. And for far too long, we have been led to believe that there is no other way.

Join us to hear Nathan J. Winograd, the Director of the national No Kill Advocacy Center.

He is a graduate of Stanford Law School, a former criminal prosecutor and attorney, was director of operations for the San Francisco SPCA and executive director of the Tompkins County SPCA, two of the most successful shelters in the nation. He has spoken nationally and internationally on animal sheltering issues, has written animal protection legislation at the state and national level, has created successful No Kill programs in both urban and rural communities, and has consulted with a wide range of animal protection groups including some of the largest and best known in the nation.
