2021A Community Comes Together to Save Homeless Animals: The New Hampshire Story
Bill Millios
After filmmaker Bill Millios made his earlier film, Killing Our Best Friends, shelters and rescue groups in New Hampshire made great progress in their life-saving work. By 2000, New Hampshire had become the first state in the nation to stop putting cats and dogs to death in its shelters just to make room for other animals who had become homeless. Bill made this film to get a better understanding of how that happened. It includes interviews with people who helped make that progress and shows how people throughout the country can do the same in their own community.

Killing Our Best Friends: The Crisis of Pet Overpopulation
Bill Millios
In 1994, filmmaker Bill Millios made a 30-minute documentary film, Killing Our Best Friends—The Crisis of Pet Overpopulation, to call attention to the staggering number of cats and dogs that were being put down in New Hampshire animal shelters just to make room for other homeless animals. The film includes interviews with people who were working throughout the state to save the lives of these animals and discussed ways that could be done. "Absolutely fantastic - very well-done, informative and conveys an extremely important message about the responsibilities of pet ownership." WGOT-60, Manchester, NH.
