It is the policy of the Ivins City municipal animal shelter and adoption center that no adoptable animal shall be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home or transferred to a qualified rescue organization.
The Ivins City municipal animal shelter and adoption center operates as a no kill facility within the parameters of and lawful constraints imposed by virtue of its municipal status. As such, the no kill designation does not preclude the euthanization of any animal when such action is necessary to ensure the public health, safety and welfare, nor does it prohibit the euthanization of sick or injured animals when no viable humane alternative remains.
