I think it depends on which humane society.There is one is pensacola fl

that maintains a no kill shelter and adoption center.But in others if they are running out of space they might put some animals to sleep.

Most of them do have to euthanize animals. Most places just don't have the funds or space to care for the never ending influx of pets. except for the ones that specifically say they are a "no-kill shelter." Also the breed specific rescues usually use foster homes instead of shelters so they do no euthanize their animals.

The best way to know for sure is to call the animal shelter you are interested in and ask them directly.

Every second, in the United States alone, at least 2 dogs are killed in shelters. That statistic comes from the ASPCA.

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.
