As usual we find that the truth about these "open door" "No Kill" shelters is just not to be found. This link has Porter County, Indiana listed as a "No Kill" shelter to watch, the question is "Watch for What?"
The Porter County Animal Shelter takes in strays from all of Porter County except Portage. The shelter got a new director, Kristina Montgomery, in August.
This article also points out a certain amount of cruelty involved since Porter made the mistake of drinking the koolaid of "No Kill". http://www.chestertontribune.com/PorterCounty/porter_county_animal_shelter_chi.htm
More troubling details about the shelter emerged at the end of July when County Council President Dan Whitten discovered cats where being housed in rooms with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
So the saga of "No Kill" continues.

Key point from the above article:
She hardly got off scot-free, not with a deal that included lengthy probation and a $2,120 fine, or 210 hours of community service. But when it became clear that the plea agreement would also allow [her] to possess at least three cats, more than a few jaws dropped.
