Very gently. They give the dog a shot that puts them actually to sleep before they add the ingredient that shuts down the dogs body functions. There is no pain for the dog. In fact I have had to have three put to sleep and was there holding the dogs head each time as they went to sleep. Remember all dogs go to heaven and they will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge when you go there.

Animal 'shelters' will euthanize (take the life of ...) an animal by 'putting them to sleep' with an overdose of barbiturates by injection ; it is a painless departure from this life .

Unfortunately in some states/counties in the United States (nowhere else on the planet) it is still legal to use gas chambers to euthanize dogs with carbon monoxide, which can take up to 45 minutes for the animals to suffocate. It's inhumane to use gas on even our worst serial murderers, yet states (mostly in the Southeast) still kill pets this way. One county shelter in NC suffered a large explosion as a result of their leaking gas chamber. They said that "due to costs" they installed another gas chamber as opposed to using lethal injection, which is proven to be less expensive than gas chamber use. Carbon monoxide leaks have also killed and permanently injured people, yet they're still being used.

They put the dog on a table and inject medicine into it. Putting animals to sleep when they are old is good because they die peacefully and do not go through the suffering when dying of old age. They go to sleep and never wake back up. It is good to put a dog to sleep when he is very very sick and there is nothing you could do. because he would rather die peacefully than go through suffering.

It is suposed to be done by injection. Other methods not allowed have been encountered and the violators taken to justice.

Why do pounds put down dogs?

Pounds put dogs to sleep because there is either over crowding of dogs in the shelter or pound or the dog is sick and can't be helped so they put it out of its suffering.

How do they put dogs down at animal shelters?

Putting dogs down is a last resort and it only happens if dogs have no chance of getting a home or the shelter is overcrowded and they feel that this dog/cat has been here too long it will be euthanized or put to sleep it is painless and it is usually done by the dog putting on fa mask and they will put a gaseous drug into it and the dog will breathe it in and go to sleep
