No Kill Lehigh Valley

Mission Statement:
Our goal is to end the killing of adoptable and treatable companion animals in the Lehigh Valley. We will do this by advocating for the implementation of policies and programs in accordance with the No Kill Equation that will reduce population growth and increase rates of adoption and retention of companion animals.

No animal should have to die just because it's homeless.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Louie's Restaurant fund raiser. We raised over $600.00 at a time when it was desperately needed. Special thank you to Donna Dougherty for making this possible.

Thank you to everyone that came out to to our vigil for National Homeless Animals' Day on Aug. 15. Approximately 40 people gathered at the Lehigh County Humane Society to express concerns about their animal control policies. It was heartwarming to see such enthusiam. As usual, the Humane Society did not respond to our concerns.

Two big fund raisers are coming up.
Sept. 20th: Furry Friends' Fest '09. This is our combination adoption spectacular and vaccination clinic held at the Bethlehem Municipal Ice Rink. Doors open to the public from 10:00 to 3:00. vaccination clinic runs from 10:30 to 1:00. All funds raised go to the spay/neuter and vet care programs. So far we have 10 rescues and 12 vendors coming. Last year 485 people came through the door. We are very excited about this event. If you are a rescue or vendor and would like to participate, contact us at nokill.lehighvalley@yahoo.com. There is no charge to participate and no admission charge. Vaccinations are $12.00 each. We will be vaccinating for rabies and distemper for cats and dogs and bordatella for dogs.

It will be held in the Little Lehigh Parkway in Allentown starting at the LVRR club house.. First 100 entrants into the race will receive a free t shirt. Entry fee is $15.00 for either race or walk. All proceeds benefit animals right here in the Lehigh Valley. To participate, show up by 9:30 the day of the race or contact us at nokill.lehighvalley@yahoo.com.

Thank you to everyone involved in this monumental event. We'll be doing it again in Nov. For details go to our low cost spay/neuter page or our Good News page.

Also, we are here to help anyone needing to have their animal spayed or neutered. If you can't afford the low cost clinic rates, contact us for financial assistance at nokill.lehighvalley@yahoo.com. We are especially interested in helping with feral colonies. We will also provide assistance with dogs. We are also now providing some limited assistance with veterinary bills.

Our goals are to:

Provide financial support for spaying and neutering and veterinary care to keep animals healthy and in their homes.

Continue tactical planning to promote the programs of the No Kill Equation.

Develop a comprehensive Valley wide Trap/Neuter/Return program for free roaming cats.
