KHS Is A No-Kill Shelter


Is the Kootenai Humane Society a "no-kill" shelter?

A No-Kill facility means that animals at KHS will NOT be euthanized for space. “Their time doesn’t run out”. KHS will euthanize an animal without delay if it is irremediably suffering. KHS will euthanize an animal if it is a “vicious dog” who exhibits aggression to people even when the dog is not hungry, in pain, or frightened, and whose prognosis for rehabilitation of that aggression is poor or grave as determined by a canine behaviorist.
