The Humane Society will keep an animal for three (3) days, and then the animal will be evaluated to determine whether or not he or she can be safely adopted to another family.
If the animal is determined not to be "adoptable" -- by way of aggression (the cat is wild, the dog bites too easily when his food is messed with, etc.), illness (most facilities do not have the money or resource to care for a sick animal, so they just put them down) or breed (Pit Bulls are not adoption candidates and are euthanized), the animal will be put down during the next day's "clean out".
Animals born in the facility are generally euthanized based on weight upon birth -- especially if the mother is aggressive. The facility I worked in would euthanize kittens who were 0.6 ounces underweight. I didn't stick around long enough to find out about the puppies; I couldn't take it anymore.
The facility will put down anywhere from 70-100 cats in a week or more. I am unsure about the number of dogs.
Many animal shelters do not have a set time limit for holding an animal. But the shelter's available space, the health of the animal, and it's temperament would all be considered as factors that would lead to an animal being destroyed. The Humane Society of the USA recommends that shelters hold stray animals for a minimum of 5 operating days.
The Wisconsin Humane Society helps animals and run animal shelters. If you are to volunteer they expect you to commit to at least six months because of the amount of training that goes into the volunteering.
People in Wisconsin can have a pet skunk as long as they keep it in a humane cage and they have a captive animal wild animal farm license.
In the Humane Society, there isn't a time were animals have been there for "too" long. SO the answer is nothing happens. The animals stay til rehoming point.
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.
Every State in the United States has their own Animal Cruelty offices and places. That stop animal cruelty. But I have included a website that shows you the History of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Which was actually founded in 1866 that is a long time! Today they are based out of Washington, DC and are called: Humane Society of the United States. (HSUS) With 9 regional offices and 8 affiliates and one arm internationally. Here is the website where I got the information from: http://animals.howstuffworks.com/animal-facts/humane-society1.htm
In some form or another, animal shelters have been around since the beginning of time. Man has always cared for animals, and helped those in need. The first actual humane society was created by Henry Bergh in April 1866 when he founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Based on the latter, animal shelters have been around for the past 145 years

The local police department in your area can best answer this for you. The Humane Society may want to ensure your chicken coop is up to code, also.
