Euthanasia Policy

​

Buster’s Brigade is committed to the preservation of life. Our mission is to help families keep their pets in their home. We are a no kill organization. 

​

Buster’s Brigade believes in healing animals who can be healed and treating behaviors that can be treated. 

​

It is our policy not to pay, perform or assist with euthanasia for dogs or cats in cases of convenience. We will not pay for euthanasia for a pet due to moving, divorce or death of an owner, unwillingness to care for an elderly pet or special needs pet. 

​

Humane euthanasia is administered as a last resort for pets when an animal is too ill to recover or too dangerous for rehabilitation.

​

Medical Euthanasia: Euthanasia is appropriate when a licensed veterinarian has assessed the pet and there is no chance of recovering an acceptable quality of life for that animal. 

​

Behavioral Euthanasia: Euthanasia is appropriate only in rare cases of irredeemable canine aggression in which a licensed veterinarian has eliminated medical issues, a certified trainer has evaluated the canine and public safety cannot be assured. 

 

All decisions to assist in euthanasia are made by the board of Buster’s Brigade, which includes a licensed veterinarian.
