There are more dogs than there are homes for them. While many pounds try to save all dogs that are suitable for adoption, some dogs are too ill or too dangerous to be adopted. Many pounds do not have the money or the space to keep all the dogs that could be adopted, so many nice, healthy dogs have to be put to sleep. This is why animal welfare organizations tell people that they should spay and neuter their pets, so that someday all puppies will have good homes and there will not be so many unwanted dogs. The injection they use is quick and painless, so that is why they use that method.
The Humane Society is not a single organization, there are several Humane Societies within the United States, most of them named for the area they are established in. For example, the Kentucky Humane Society adopted out 6,091 dogs in 2012.
