HSNT has built our policies around saving lives. Our adoptions have grown in the past few years by expanding our transfer and foster programs in order to help save even more lives. Our live release rate in 2024 was 95%.
We do everything in our power to find homes for all pets in our care or transfer them to other shelters, rescues or fosters. We continue to make great strides. According to most national animal welfare organizations, a shelter is considered to be a no-kill shelter if their live-release rate is above 90%.
