A RESOLUTION

Recognizing April 30, 2025, as No-Kill Awareness Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the State of Georgia values the lives of dogs and cats and seeks to create safe and humane communities for people and pets; and

WHEREAS, in 2023, 19,331 dogs and cats, nearly 20 percent of the pets impounded, were killed in Georgia shelters; and

WHEREAS, many loving and healthy animals in shelters and rescues throughout Georgia are waiting for homes; and

WHEREAS, pet adoption provides many dogs and cats a second chance at life, helps reduce the strain on overcrowded shelters, promotes animal welfare, and encourages responsible pet ownership within the community; and

WHEREAS, "No-Kill" is a community philosophy and commitment to saving every dog and cat in a shelter who can be saved, where at least 90 percent of the companion animals entering facilities leave alive; and

WHEREAS, Georgia's animal shelters can achieve a 90 percent save rate if more Georgians seeking a pet choose to adopt from a shelter rather than purchase, which would make Georgia the largest state to date with a save rate exceeding 90 percent; and

WHEREAS, many Georgia shelters are no-kill, saving at least 90 percent of the animals they intake by implementing proven programs and policies as alternatives, such as foster care networks, adoption programs, medical and behavioral programs, public education and awareness initiatives, community cat trap-neuter-vaccinate-return programs, and animal socialization programs; and

WHEREAS, Georgians can work together to achieve "No-Kill" in this state by 2025, and animal shelters can help accomplish this by implementing lifesaving programs and utilizing the support of rescues and nonprofits.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body commend animal shelter workers and volunteers as well as community members who support their local animal shelters and recognize April 30, 2025, as No-Kill Awareness Day at the state capitol to raise awareness about dog and cat adoption and the importance of "No-Kill" animal shelters.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
