Does NHA euthanize animals?

 

The Nashville Humane Association is a low-kill shelter. This means we do euthanize animals, but only if it is necessary due to illness or dangerous or aggressive behavior problems.  That said, in 2019 we had a 99% save rate, which was amazing, but may not be reasonable to expect as a year over year outcome. We are always working for the best goal possible, but we are realistic and pragmatic at the same time.
