For homeless dogs and cats in Montgomery County, reaching safety often depends on a community willing to act. Operation Pets Alive works to build that involvement while helping the county move toward becoming a No-Kill community. Operation Pets Alive is a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer nonprofit focused on changing what happens before and after animals enter local shelters. Its programs work to raise awareness about homeless pets, reduce the number of dogs and cats entering shelters, and increase the number who leave alive.
