Today is June 11, 2013. Shelters across the country will stop the killing for Just One Day today by putting down their “euthanasia needles” and picking up cameras instead: to photograph and market animals. They will reach out to rescue groups, host adoption events, stay open for extended hours, and ask their communities to help them empty the shelter the good way. Last year, about 800 organizations answered the call, finding homes for roughly 9,000 animals, erasing one day’s worth of killing.

More than 75 rescues and shelters in Colorado have pledged to not kill any animals today, June 11, 2013, as part of a nationwide effort called Just One Day.
Just One Day is a nationwide movement on June 11 to focus on promoting adoption and to lower the number of shelter animal deaths. Nationwide 3-4 million animals are killed in shelters each year, including close to 30,000 in Colorado. In May, Governor John Hickenlooper signed a proclamation recognizing June 11, 2013 as Just One Day Colorado.
