As reported in the Weekly Almanac, the Dessin Animal Shelter’s interim Executive Director recently awarded certificates of appreciation to community members for their guidance in helping the Dessin shelter move towards a No Kill future. 

Rather than ignoring or disparaging proven lifesaving techniques, the Dessin board president, Clarissa Wimmers responds, “No Kill is our vision.  We are looking outside of the box to find creative ways to help animals that are struggling to be adopted.  It’s ethical … and it’s challenging us and the community to reassess how we help our animals.”
