Every 2 minutes 21 dogs are euthanized across the United States. Most of these dogs would have made wonderful companions. Each one of them died due to lack of funding, space and interest from the general public.

Are there more cat or dogs in the US?

I just researched this on ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) There are approximately 78.2 million dogs and 86.4 million cats OWNED in the US (APPA, 2012). However, there is a huge stray population of cats - approximately 70 million of them. So, if you have any animals - neuter them. A shocking statistic is that every year approximately 3 - 4 million companion animals are euthanazed in animal shelters throughout the US. Such a sad fact.

Which animal shelters have a no kill animal policy?

In my opinion, yes. Animals should not be killed if they can't get adopted. Put it this way, if you were in a foster home and you couldn't get adopted, would you want to be killed? No, so why should the shelters kill the animals? Exactly, they shouldn't because that is called abuse. So final answer: All animal shelters should become no-kill animal shelters.
