No Kill Houston Presents
Building a No Kill Community
Nathan Winograd, expert and author of
Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation & The No Kill Revolution in America
In Houston, 80,000 pets are killed in animal shelters every year. That is more than 200 pets per day. At BARC, Houston’s animal control facility, animals are killed at a staggering statistic of 8 out of 10 pets. Many of these animals are simply lost pets whose owners have not found them yet. Don’t let this happen to you or your pet! KHOU news reporter, Bob Woodard has warned Houstonians several times. Click here to see this week's story - http://www.khou.com/video/index.html?nvid=336976&shu=1
“No Kill” means saving healthy and treatable pets, and adopting them into loving homes. Winograd is the director of the No Kill Advocacy Center. He consults and trains pioneering shelters, across the country, on the best practices to increase adoptions and save the lives of pets. He has helped to transform kill facilities, such as BARC, into No Kill shelters.

Americas is known for its adventurous "New World Cuisine" with a menu crafted from the foods and cooking techniques of North, Central and South America. Named Restaurant of the Year by Esquire magazine the year it opened in 1993, Americas evokes excitement from the very entry. Designed by Chicago architect Jordan Mozer, it takes its cues from the roots of its cuisine. Americas is Mozer's architectural interpretation of the images and cultures from these mystical lands.
