Operation Pets Alive! is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization striving to elevate Montgomery County to a “no-kill” community through innovative programs that raise community awareness, reduce the number of dogs and cats that enter local shelters, and increase the number of dogs and cats that leave shelters alive. The goal of the organization is to make a significant contribution to reduced killing in shelters through treatment of treatable animals, training, adoption, foster and rescue, and to make a significant contribution toward decreasing the number of pets entering shelters through spay and neuter, reclaim, retention and re-homing.
