Animal shelter achieves no-kill status for 2011
The Georgetown Animal Shelter reported a 90 percent live outcome rate for five separate months throughout 2011.
With help from organizations like Friends of the Georgetown Animal Shelter, which raised $26,000 for the facility's needs, and other volunteers, nine out of 10 animals who came through the shelter were adopted to new homes, transferred to rescue groups or returned to their owner.
