“No Kill” – What Does It Mean?
“No Kill” is a term coined by Best Friends Animal Society in the 1990s. They defined a no-kill shelter or community as one where euthanasia is reserved only for animals that cannot achieve a safe, healthy, humane outcome—even with veterinary or behavioral intervention. Achieving this requires coordinated efforts between shelters, government or legislation, and the community, so shelters aren’t carrying the burden alone.
To be designated as No Kill, a shelter must typically save at least 90% of the animals entering its care. The remaining 10% usually includes those with untreatable or unmanageable health or behavioral issues.
Does the SPCA Serving Erie County Qualify as a “No-Kill Shelter,” and Has This Organization Received No-Kill Distinction? YES.
Why We Don’t Use That Language
Although our live-release rate meets the national no-kill benchmark of 90%, we choose not to label ourselves this way. While we understand the heart, and oftentimes nuance, behind that term, it can be misleading and oversimplifies the complex realities of animal sheltering. Here are some examples of confusion that stems from using the term “no kill.”
-One-Dimensional Misinterpretation
“No kill” can mistakenly be taken to mean “never euthanize—under any circumstances.” This misreading can create unrealistic expectations.
-Pressure from Misunderstanding
These misunderstandings can lead to community pressure on shelters to keep animals that are suffering or pose a risk to public safety. The label may wrongly imply absolute zero euthanasia, which is not aligned with professional animal welfare standards.
-Risk of Label-Based Division
The term “no kill” can create unintended divisions—implying that every other shelter is a “kill shelter,” which may foster resentment within the broader sheltering community. The implication is also simply not fair. For instance:
BEST FRIENDS’ DEFINITION OF NO KILL: Humanely euthanize only when medically or behaviorally necessary.
COMMON MISCONCEPTION/RISK: “No kill” means never euthanize, even when inhumane or unsafe.
BEST FRIENDS’ DEFINITION OF NO KILL: 90% save-rate benchmark, with flexibility for exception programs.
COMMON MISCONCEPTION/RISK: Believe that a 100% live outcome is the norm.
BEST FRIENDS’ DEFINITION OF NO KILL: Requires collaboration, transparency, and community support to work.
COMMON MISCONCEPTION/RISK: Unrealistic expectation that animal shelters are solely responsible for achieving no-kill status.
We support the spirit of the no-kill movement. It helped lead us to where we are today: a nation where most animals entering shelters can and should be saved. But as the field has evolved, so has our understanding of success. A single metric, like a 90% save rate, tells only part of the story. For example, a shelter that saves 100% of the 100 animals it serves each year is doing great work—but so is the shelter that saves 75% of 4,000 animals, many of them facing urgent or complex challenges. Impact is not just about survival—it’s about access, reach, equity, and how many lives we touch with meaningful care.
Highlighting this distinction ensures that public understanding stays realistic and humane. It protects both animals (by allowing professional assessment in dire cases) and shelters (from backlash when euthanasia is necessary). It also reinforces that true “no kill” is about smart, community-supported, transparent lifesaving.
We stand in partnership with shelters across the country—large and small, rural and urban, public and private—who are doing their best for animals every day. We know that every organization works within its own set of circumstances, and that compassion can look different in different places. We also know that collaboration, not comparison, is what drives real change.
Euthanasia is not the enemy—suffering is.
Every animal is unique—and so is every decision.
Our organization serves a wide range of animals: dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, iguanas, parrots, pigs, and more. We also operate a wildlife center where we care for thousands of injured, orphaned, or ill wild animals each year. The needs of these animals are incredibly diverse—and so are the ethical considerations that guide their care.
Sometimes, the most humane decision we can make is to provide a peaceful and dignified passing. This may be due to untreatable illness, unmanageable suffering, or behaviors that pose serious safety risks.
We also support community members facing heartbreaking circumstances. When a pet is suffering and a family has no access to veterinary care, we step in to help—offering relief, respect, and kindness through our end-of-life humane euthanasia program.
In wildlife care, the standard is different still: animals must be fully rehabilitated and able to survive independently in the wild. Unlike domestic animals that can survive missing one leg or one eye (sometimes with frequent human assistance), in most cases a wild bird or wild mammal cannot live safely with one eye or one wing or three legs. Their survival depends on their wholeness.
Transparency and Trust
At our organization, we believe that transparency and accountability are the foundation of trust with our community, staff, and volunteers. We are committed to sharing our practices and outcomes openly, including the moments when we must make difficult decisions for an animal’s welfare or public safety. By providing the full picture—not only the joyful adoptions, but also the complex and sometimes heartbreaking realities—we help our community understand the care, thought, and compassion behind every choice. This openness allows our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and supporters to stand with us as informed partners in lifesaving, united by a shared commitment to doing what is right for both the animals and the people we serve.
TOUCHDOWN!
Hayley Beane & Buffalo Bills General Manager Brandon Continue Bills Muttfia for SPCA Serving Erie County Animals
September 4, 2025
By: SPCA Chief Communications Officer Gina Lattuca
Give in honor of the Beanes and help their Bills Muttfia rookies HERE! >>
It’s official! For the sixth year in a row, Hayley and Buffalo Bills’ General Manager Brandon Beane will feature the Bills Muttfia program at the SPCA Serving Erie County!*
For every home game touchdown scored by the Buffalo Bills, the Beanes will make a $100 donation towards the care of an animal at the SPCA!* This means that, while ‘rookies’ drafted into Bills Muttfia are at the SPCA, a portion of their care has been sponsored by the Beanes.
“With the SPCA’s shift toward accepting animals most at-risk, we’ve noticed an increase in care costs while animals are with us,” says SPCA President/CEO Cait Daly. “These donations from the Beanes help the SPCA provide what is required for ‘rookies’ in need of more extensive care while still allowing adopters the ability to adopt at a fraction of what the animal would have cost otherwise. Our basic adoptions include spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, microchips, testing, deworming, temporary identification for dogs and cats, the pet’s first visit to a veterinarian after adoption, and more. The Beanes help the animals of our community by affording the SPCA the ability to provide a significant amount of vital care to animals more in-need, leading to faster adoptions into loving homes.”
Give in honor of the Beanes and help their Bills Muttfia rookies HERE! >>
Dogs, cats, small animals, birds, reptiles, even farm animals will be drafted into the Bills Muttfia. New Muttfia team members and their stories will be announced on the SPCA’s social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) the week after each home game.*
“Bills Muttfia is an excellent way to highlight and bring attention to the animals being cared for by the SPCA Serving Erie County,” said Hayley. “It has also been so fun to be involved and wait to see which animals will be drafted into Bills Muttfia!”
Hayley, a member of the SPCA’s Board of Directors, adds, “If you go and visit the SPCA, you’ll be hooked like I was. The tireless work that is done there by the warm, friendly, compassionate staff is really remarkable to see. From assisting animals that are involved in abuse cases to rehabilitating injured wildlife that find their way to the SPCA…it is a wonderful thing to witness and I’m so thankful for them!”
“No matter what happens at work, good day,
bad day, you win 40 to nothing, lose 40 to nothing, your dogs are fired up to see you when you come in the door, and that’s a cool feeling, the love and nurturing that they bring to the family,” Brandon stated in a BuffaloBills.com video focused on the Beanes and the importance of pet adoption.
The Beanes not only talk the adoption talk, but they walk the walk. One Muttfia draft pick, a guinea pig named Sherman, was adopted by Hayley in December of 2021. The family soon became larger, with the adoptions of guinea pig Percy and one of Percy’s [surprise] babies, Coco Beane!
Another excellent lineup of SPCA animal rookies are waiting to be drafted during the ’25 – ’26 Bills Muttfia season, which begins with the Buffalo Bills’ first home game against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, Sept. 7 at 8:20 p.m.
“Brandon and I are so excited to start another season of Bills Muttfia!” Hayley remarks. “We love rescues, plus, it is heartwarming and inspiring to see the wonderful work done by the SPCA Serving Erie County. We can’t wait for lots of touchdowns!”

FOURTH OF JULY, OUTDOOR FESTIVALS: No Party for Pets
July 1, 2025
By: SPCA Chief Communications Officer Gina Lattuca
The days immediately following July 4 can result in increased numbers of stray animals admitted to animal control facilities and humane societies, and often the explosive sound of fireworks is to blame. Fireworks cause many pets to panic, resulting in extreme and sometimes dangerous escape measures from homes or yards. Without identification, it is nearly impossible to reunite pet with owner. Please keep the following tips in mind this holiday:
* ENSURE ALL ANIMALS ARE WEARING CURRENT IDENTIFICATION! Even if the animal has microchip identification, place a collar with an ID tag on your pet. If a neighbor or passer-by finds your animal, an ID collar that includes your phone number can lead to a faster reunion. Remember, don’t limit a search for a lost pet to your geographical location! A frightened animal that bolts can travel long distances, and well-meaning community members trying to help may also transport the animal to an animal control facility or veterinary clinic in a different neighborhood. Find local animal control facilities here >>.
* DON’T TAKE ANIMALS TO FIREWORKS DISPLAYS. The sounds and sights of fireworks often have the ability to turn the most calm, quiet, and non-aggressive pet into a stressed, frightened animal. A startled animal may not only break free and run away, but may also bite.
If you bring your dog to these events and realize it’s becoming too overwhelming for him or her, DO NOT KEEP YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME! The effects of heatstroke on even slightly warm days begin within mere minutes. and the results could be fatal. Stressed animals confined to cars can not only die or suffer severe brain damage, but can also experience an overwhelming stress level that can cause physical harm to the pet, and/or damage to the vehicle’s interior. Home is the safest place for pets this holiday.
* HAVE SOMEONE HOME WITH NERVOUS PETS DURING FIREWORKS. If the animal is with someone he or she knows, the pet’s stress level will be greatly reduced. Keep the volume on a television or radio turned up to block some of the noise. ThunderShirts® reportedly work to calm the anxiety felt by some dogs and cats when they can hear fireworks, thunder, even when they experience separation anxiety, and can be found in many local pet supply shops and online.
* NOISE-CANCELLING HEADPHONES FOR HOUNDS. The headphones, which must be ordered in advance based on each dog’s specific measurements, contain Bluetooth technology which allows owners to stream their dogs’ most calming musical selections (decibal reduction for the dogs provide a “whisper volume”) directly into their ears. A simple online search will direct pet owners to the various companies offering these headphones.
Very hot weather paired with immense crowds of people and loud, strange noises heighten the stress level for many animals. Your pet’s body is closer to the asphalt and can heat up quickly. The hot pavement can also burn unprotected, sensitive paw pads. Home is the safest place for pets on extremely hot days and during arts festivals, food festivals, other crowded outdoor events, and especially fireworks displays.
If you witness animal cruelty or see any animal in need of rescue or emergency assistance this summer, the SPCA Serving Erie County may be able to help. Please call the SPCA Monday through Saturday,
8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., at (716) 875-7360, ext. 214.

SPCA Issues Summer Reminders Designed to Keep Pets Safe
June 19, 2025
By: SPCA Chief Communications Officer Gina Lattuca
Temperatures are often in the high 80s and sometimes even low 90s in Buffalo and the surrounding area each summer. While many are happy with the warm weather, it’s important to remember pets don’t fare as well as some of their owners on these warm days. Please keep the following hot weather pets tips in mind and share with pet owners you know:
HEATSTROKE CAN KILL, AND FAST. Most pet owners realize that keeping pets in hot cars can kill them…but not many realize just how quickly the effects of heatstroke can set in for a dog or cat. And we’re not only referring to 80-degree days; animals suffer heatstroke even on much cooler days.
Heatstroke is a condition animals begin to suffer gradually, but it accelerates quickly. It’s easy for early signs of heatstroke to go unrecognized, and for the pet to be in an emergency situation within mere minutes. The image below is provided courtesy of VeterinaryClinic.com; please click on the image for a downloadable copy of this chart:
On warm days, a vehicle acts like an oven. It holds the heat inside, and that heat becomes very intense even on days that don’t seem too warm. On an 85-degree day, even parked in the shade with the windows open, the temperature inside a car will climb to 104 degrees in 10 minutes, and to 119 degrees in 30 minutes. With the humidity we experience here in Buffalo, it may go even higher. Because a dog’s normal body temperature is 101-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, he can withstand a body temperature of 107-108 degrees for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage…or death.
The typical signs of heatstroke are:
– Panting – High body temperature
– Dehydration – Red mouth/eye membranes
– Rapid, irregular heart rate – Diarrhea and/or vomiting
– Weakness, looking dazed, confusion – Comatose state
If your pet begins exhibiting any of these signs, contact a veterinarian immediately.
CAN I LEGALLY BREAK INTO A CAR TO SAVE A SUFFERING ANIMAL? Currently, while a handful of states allow good Samaritans to legally break car windows in an effort to save a suffering animal, New York is, unfortunately, NOT one of those states.
If you see an animal alone in a vehicle in extreme temperatures:
-Immediately record the vehicle’s make, model, and license plate number, and record the time you first noticed the animal(s) alone in the vehicle.
-Next, immediately call 911 to report the incident. If the vehicle is located in Erie County, NY and the time is between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., contact the SPCA Serving Erie County as well: (716) 875-7360, ext. 214.
-If you are at a location with a public announcement system (a retail establishment, office, public event, etc.), provide managers, directors, employees, or event coordinators with the details of the situation, and ask for a public announcement that the animal in the vehicle is in severe distress.
-If possible, stay at the scene until help arrives.
PORCHES AND YARDS: Short stays ONLY!
Use caution during warm weather months when allowing animals outside for short sessions in yards or on porches. Never 
leave them outside extended periods of time. Ensure appropriate shade and water are always available. Keep close supervision of your pet when outdoors on hot, humid, sunny summer days, and around inground pools. If you see an animal left on a porch or in a yard with no access to shelter or water, or with inadequate shelter or water, the SPCA may be able to intervene in accordance with New York State’s Animal Shelter Law.
Contact the SPCA immediately if the location is within Erie County Monday – Saturday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., at (716) 875-7360, ext. 214.
Read more about the Animal Shelter Law here.
And remember…pets can get sunburned too. Speak with your veterinarian about applying animal-safe sunblock to your pet’s sun-sensitive areas, such as nose and ears, even when the animal is only outdoors for short sessions.
ADMINISTER FLEA PREVENTION PRODUCTS CORRECTLY! It wasn’t long ago that the SPCA received two cats on death’s door after cheap, incorrect flea 
products purchased from deep discount stores were applied. The SPCA has already received several phone calls this season from people who misapplied flea products to their pets. DO NOT APPLY PRODUCTS MEANT FOR DOGS ON CATS, AND DO NOT APPLY CAT FLEA PRODUCTS TO DOGS, AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CONCERNING THE VOLUME AND MANNER OF APPLICATION! Read the directions carefully PRIOR to application, not during application. The application of improper flea products, low-quality flea products, or products applied incorrectly, can cause internal damage or death to your pet. Always consult a veterinarian before purchasing and applying flea products.
USE CAUTION WHEN PURCHASING SUMMER PET TOYS. Low-quality flea products are not the only items that shouldn’t be purchased at deep discount stores and other locations. Some pet toys are not durable enough to withstand a pet’s play, such as this disc dog toy purchased in 2019, which, according to the pet owner who purchased the toy, “…shattered like a mirror” the first time his dogs caught the toy. Be sure the toys you purchase for your pets are safe and sturdy.
KEEP PETS HOME DURING OUTDOOR FESTIVALS. Art festivals, food festivals, summer fireworks displays, and other crowded outdoor events are no places for dogs. Extremely hot weather, paired with immense crowds of people and strange noises and scents, heightens the stress level for many animals; the repetitive, exploding sound of fireworks is enough to make even the calmest animal frantic and sometimes aggressive. Your pet’s body is closer to the asphalt and can heat up much more quickly.
The hot pavement can also burn unprotected, sensitive paw pads when dogs are on pavement for any period of time. Test the pavement! Place your hand on the pavement for ten seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog. Check out this photo from a June, 2019 post on WGRZ-TV and click on the photo for the full story:
DON’T FORCE EXERCISE, primarily after a meal or in hot, humid weather. Instead, exercise pets in the cool of the early morning or evening. Be extra-sensitive to older and overweight animals, or those prone to heart or respiratory problems. Bring an ample supply of water along on the walk. For cool, indoor walks, bring pets to shop at the SPCA’s Petique or other pet-friendly stores.
BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU WALK! Avoid walking your dog in areas that you suspect have been sprayed with insecticides or other chemicals (see below), or have puddles or spots of auto coolant. The sweet taste of poisonous liquids attracts animals and can sicken or kill them if ingested. Clean any spills immediately or consider using animal-friendly products to help minimize risks.
Unfortunately, the use of wild rat poisons also increases during warm-weather months, which poses potential hazards for your pets. Be mindful of any poisons your pet(s) can reach on your property and other properties. Read the Humane Society of the United States’ recommendations on alternatives to rodent poisons here >>
WATCH WHAT THEY EAT & DRINK! It wasn’t long ago that two family dogs in North Buffalo died after eating poisonous mushrooms (amanita) growing right in the backyard. Check yards and any areas pets frequent. If something looks suspicious, don’t take a chance….GET RID OF IT. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection spread through the urine of contaminated animals. The bacteria can get into water (puddles, ponds, pools, etc.) or soil and survive there for months. Humans AND animals can be infected. Use caution when letting your pet drink, walk through, or swim in water that may have been exposed to infected animals (rodents, wildlife, infected domestic animals, and others).
KEEP YOUR PET WELL-GROOMED AND CLEAN to combat summer skin problems. If your dog’s coat is appropriate, cutting his hair to a one-inch length will help prevent overheating and will also allow you to watch for fleas and ticks. Don’t shave down to the skin, though; your pet can get sunburned (see below)! A cat should be brushed frequently to keep a tangle-free coat. Long-haired cats will be more comfortable with a stylish, summer clip.
WEED OUT TOXIC SUMMER LAWN/GARDEN PURCHASES! When purchasing lawn and garden products, always read the labels for ingredients toxic to dogs, cats, and other animals, and check that flowers and shrubs are safe too. Fertilizers, weed killers, herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals can be fatal to your pets. Weed out the toxic products from your garage, and learn more about non-toxic, pet-friendly seasonal items. Snail, slug, and rat/mouse baits, and ant/roach baits and traps are also hazardous. Metaldehyde, one of the poisonous ingredients in many baits, is often very appealing to pets, and metaldehyde poisoning can cause increased heart rate, breathing complications, seizures, liver complications, and death. Considering cocoa shell mulch? Remember, the ingredients in chocolate that are toxic to pets are often present in the mulch. If insect and nuisance animal control items must be purchased, keep them in locations impossible for pets to reach.
KEEP CORN COBS AWAY FROM DOGS! In August of 2013, SPCA veterinarians removed corn cobs from the intestines of not one but TWO dogs! Both survived, but without veterinary treatment the results could have been fatal. Read this article from VetsNow.com discussing the dangers of corn cobs and corn to dogs.
DO NOT USE HUMAN INSECT REPELLENTS ON PETS! These items are toxic when ingested at high doses, and dogs and cats may lick it off and ingest it, potentially resulting in a toxicity. Read more about what you can use here.
BUNNIES NEED TO KEEP COOL TOO! Pet rabbits who live indoors with no air conditioning can benefit from an easy cooling technique. Rabbit owners can freeze a filled water bottle. Once the water bottle is frozen, it can be wrapped in a cloth and placed on the rabbit’s cage floor. If the rabbit becomes too warm, she’ll instinctively know to lie next to the bottle. Fans can also be pointed in the general direction of a rabbit cage, and rabbits will raise their ears (their natural cooling system) to catch the breeze and cool off. On hot days, pet owners with rabbits living in outdoor pens will want to ensure their pets are cool enough in outdoor locations; if not, rabbits and pens should come indoors.
If you witness animal cruelty this summer, including animals left outdoors extended periods of time with inappropriate shelter in yards or on porches, the SPCA Serving Erie County may be able to help. If the location is in Erie County, contact the SPCA Monday – Saturday, 8 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., at (716) 875-7360, ext. 214. Other times, please contact your local animal control agency, police department, or your local after-hours emergency clinic.

ASK LEGISLATORS TO KEEP COMPANION ANIMAL CAPITAL FUND IN BUDGET, ADD ANIMAL CRIMES FUND
UPDATE May 8, 2025 — In an exciting email this morning, New York State Animal Protection Federation Executive Director Libby Post shared that our advocacy efforts worked! There is now $10 million approved for the Companion Animal Capital Fund after the NYS Legislature proposed an additional $5 million be added to the existing $5 million designated by Gov. Kathy Hochul! Thank you to Senator Joseph Addabbo, Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, Assemblymember Deborah Glick, Senator Michelle Hinchey, and Assemblymember Donna Lupardo for their work in helping to aquire this additional funding. At this time, no funding has been approved for an Animal Crimes Fund, but future advocacy efforts will be initiated at a later time. A special thanks to the friends of the SPCA Serving Erie County for showing incredible support in achieving this Companion Animal Capital Fund victory!

Companion animals need your voice *NOW!*
The New York State Animal Protection Federation (NYSAPF) and the SPCA Serving Erie County need your help!
New York State Governor Kathy Hochul included
$5 million in the state budget for the Companion Animal Capital Fund, the only fund of its kind in the country that supports capital projects at rescues, shelters, and humane societies such as our SPCA Serving Erie County. This increases organizations’ ability to provide proper care to hundreds of thousands of companion animals throughout the state of New York. Due to the number of qualified organizations in the state, the total, while generous, can be exhausted quickly.
The New York State Legislature added $5 million to the state budget to bring the total to ten million dollars, doubling the amount of money that can be placed towards caring for animals in need in New York State. Now it’s important that this additional five million dollars stay in the budget.
Additionally, the NYSAPF is asking for $2.5 million to help with costs associated with rescuing and caring for abused animals that are victims of animal cruelty cases as part of the Animal Crimes Fund.
CAN YOU HELP US ENSURE THIS FUNDING IS IN THE NEW YORK STATE BUDGET FOR 2025?
Action needs to be taken as soon as possible, before April 1, 2025! We need your voice today to ensure New York State can help us care for animals in need!
TAKE ACTION
Those interested in encouraging lawmakers 
to keep the full Companion Animal Capital Fund and add the Animal Crimes Fund to the New York State budget can add their voice to thousands who want to ensure animals are cared for. Contact lawmakers using an on-line, pre-written form here >>
