Do animal shelters kill their animals?
Today, the vast majority of shelters in the United States perform euthanasia by injection. By the 1970s, the Humane Society estimated that 25 percent of the nation's dogs were out on the streets and that 13.5 million animals were euthanized in shelters each year (some argue that number was much higher).
What are no kill shelters called?
“Limited admission” shelters are often called “no-kill” shelters because they do not euthanize. These shelters cannot accept any and all animals as they would be forced to euthanize because of the sheer number of animals that require housing.
Where can I surrender my cat for free?
Your local animal shelters or rescue groups can also be a great resource for free or low-cost pet assistance. Find your local shelters and rescues by visiting The Shelter Pet Project and entering your zip code.
Can you surrender a dog that bites?
Keeping aggressive behaviors or a bite history a secret is dangerous. If you rehome your dog yourself and he bites someone, you may be held liable. Many shelters will not accept an animal with a bite history; if they do it may be only for the purpose of euthanasia.
