If you search for No Kill in Facebook, you'll get a lot of organizations, both (inter)national, by state, and by town. In particular, look at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/No-Kill-Coalition-Crossposting/220666988020410
You can also search for Crossposter and get a lot of other pages for crossposting. Here is a list of true No Kill shelters: http://s312584456.initial-website.com/no-kill-shelters-in-north-america/ which is growing exponentially these days, now that people know it can be done (see my signature links below). Of interest also is: http://www.nokillnetwork.org/ Note that Empty Cages (search for in FB) pulls a lot of NYC animals. They could probably use donations! The way the NYC pound functions is just the tip of the iceberg. You can read more about the politics there on Nathan Winograd's blog and those of others. It would be great if there were a database where people could put in requests for certain types of animals and they could be matched up with ones in various pounds. As far as I know, all we have have right now is Petfinder.com and its ilk. However, don't wait for an organization to do the work. Start networking animals to your friends now. Hope this helps.
