If they have to put down animals due to over crowding they would eliminate the ones least likely to be placed first. Not a pleasant job.

Please spay and neuter your pets to help avoid this.

What is the difference between a county shelter and Humane Society?

Humane society are no kill while a dog pound will kill the animal Actually that is wrong, Humane Society's do kill, you would have to check with the individual Humane Society to find out whether they kill or not. Not all pounds/shelters kill either, many are working towards a no kill approach, which is good as long as animals are not left waiting for years in a kennel. Most shelters/pounds work with rescue groups to get the animals out but some do not and will not. That is when you start getting into the political game that some heads of Animal Control play, they don't want to be questioned or challenged on their practices of killing, so they ban rescues.

What kinds of animals can you find in Humane shelters?

You can find all sorts of animals in the Humane Society. Dogs and cats are the most common, of course, but you can also adopt rabbits, birds, small mammals, and possibly reptiles. It all depends on where you live and what shelter you are going to, but if you are thinking about adopting an animal the Humane Society is a great place to go. If you don't find any animal that you would like to adopt at the Humane Society, see if you have a local FAIR (Foundation for Animals In Risk) nearby. They are a great no-kill (unlike the Humane Society) group and will surely help you find a companion animal. Petfinder.com lists all types of animals available at private breed rescues and at larger shelters. Just looking at their search options gives you an idea of the many types of animals available for adoption.
