There were adoption events, discounts on adoption fees, and pictures of the at-risk animals uploaded to facebook and twitter. To any organization that took the pledge to be no-kill for a day, the organizers of the event sent a model press release, posters, and promotional plans. Amazingly, some shelters even ran out of animals to adopt out. Read on about the success of “Just one Day.” Support the cause, and maybe no-kill day will eventually be every day. — Global Animal
