What are the bad things about animals shelters?
The list below names some bad things about animal shelters: 1. The animals have had a bad experience will people; they are likely to have a bad temper. 2. Most animal shelters will kill more than 90% of the animals they keep. 3. Some animal shelters may kill animals that they have kept for 7 or 14 days. 4. You never know what you are buying from an animal shelter, as you may have seen the animal only on a poster that people have made to look attractive. 5. Some animal shelters may not try their hardest to sell animals, and therefore kill most of them. 6. Some animal shelters may use a toxic gas to suffocate the animals that they want to kill (as opposed to euthanasia). 7. Not all animal shelters will accept every animal that is offered to them, therefore not doing their job of saving animals and rather killing them. 8. Some animal shelters will even kill very young animals (puppies, kittens, etc.). 9. You don't know where animals from animal shelters have come from. Most of the animals have been found on the streets. Remember that you should always buy dogs from breeders. It is exceptional to buy birds, reptiles, rabbits, and cats from pet stores, but you never know where a dog from a pet store came from (shelter, puppy mill, etc.). Remember that breeders are always the best! I hope this helps, and that people will find a good alternative to animal shelters!
Are animals living in shelters in Canada being killed after a certain length of stay and if so by what method?
There are sadly tons and tons of shelters that humanely euthanize (Usually it is an injection into a vein) animals after a certain length of stay. There are so many animals that are going into shelters than there are being adopted. However there are also no kill shelters that will keep an animal as long as it takes to find it a home.

Many animal shelters do not have a set time limit for holding an animal.

The upfront costs are not really the total cost. I have bought dogs, cats and horses from shelters for as little as $30.00.

Make sure you can afford to keep the animal maintained correctly.

Where might I adopt some cute animals?
Pet shops and pet shelters will have many animals in need of adoption; especially pet shelters. You won't have to pay at a pet shelter but keep in mind the animals there have all been rescued or abandoned and might not be young or particularly cute, but in need of love all the same. You will have to buy the animal at a pet shop, whereas a pet shelter is free, but the animals tend to be cuter at pet shops, where you can also buy specific breeds.
Is it legal for animal shelters to kill animals?
Sometimes if they are too old nobody will adopt them so they put them down, so yes. Also, some shelters simply don't have the space to keep all the animals they get or they don't have the means or resources to care for all they animals they get. So, if more animals are being brought in than going out, the shelter may need to euthanize some of them. And, animals that are considered "not adoptable" for reasons such as poor health, age, temperament, are also euthanized at many shelters. If you don't want your shelter to "kill" the animals they have, here are some ways to help: 1.) Volunteer your time to help take care of the animals that are there. 2.) Donate items like dog food, cat food, feeding dishes, paper towels, dish soap, flea and tick shampoos/powders, trash bags, etc. Shelters are run on donations from the area they are in - you'd be surprised how much a little help goes a long way. Most shelters have a list of their most needed items 3.) ADOPT an animal! 4.) Volunteer to FOSTER an animal. This means to take an animal home and provide food/water/housing/care/etc. for it until it can be adopted. A lot of times an animal is euthanized because of something as simple as no one being available to give antibiotics during the evening.
