It is a "no kill" shelter, but as I was telling someone else on here, that is a loose term that needs some specificity. There are veterinary situations that arise where the humane thing to do is euthanize an animal. There are public safety situations that can arise where an individual animal is deemed dangerous to the public, and government regulations (DHEC) or a court order may require that an animal be euthanized. Do they euthanize animals for not being adopted within a couple of weeks of arrival, like in decades past? No. That's what makes them a "no kill" shelter. If by "no kill," you mean no animal is ever euthanized for any reason, that doesn't exist; and it would be unethical for both animals and humans if it did.
