lizbud, thank you for posting this article. I've just let the australian dog rescue list know about it.

Interesting thing about this Spanish no-kill policy...it's written into the LAW! As you say, a very brave thing to do.

There are shelters that try to be no-kill. One I admire in the US is in San Francisco. Where I live in australia, there's a shelter called the Animal Welfare League which is aiming to be no-kill.
