About Us

Thank you for caring about our companion animals and wanting to learn more about the No Kill movement in Columbia! There are millions of people who love animals but are unaware of the practices at their local shelters, about the No Kill Model of sheltering, and its relevance on "quality of life" in a community.
No Kill Columbia is a grassroots, volunteer driven, 501c3 animal advocacy non- profit organization dedicated to saving lives of companion animals in our community. We are animal loving citizens, adopters, foster parents, past employees, volunteers and supporters for local animal organizations, who have witnessed too many innocent and adoptable animals taken needlessly, have united together and are determined that through awareness and education of the No Kill Movement, a No Kill Columbia is within our reach.
Municipal shelters in cities like Reno Nevada, Charlottesville Virginia, Ithaca New York, Austin Texas, and Kansas City just to name a few, have thrown out the “old school” way of sheltering, embraced the No Kill model, and now save over 90% or more of all animals in their open door facilities. Their success stories prove that you don’t need millions of dollars and a huge facility to save lives. What you do need is the right leader, who will rigorously implement each of the components of the No Kill equation with passion, creativity, and an unwavering belief that the lives of all animal companions who are adoptable and treatable are worth saving!.
To aide in the reduction of unplanned and unwanted companion animals, No Kill Columbia will place an emphasis on funding a low-cost spay and neuter clinic within our community. We look forward to providing quality, high volume, low-cost, easily accessible spay and neuter services to Columbia and all of Mid Missouri.
