Non profit animal shelters are regulated at the state and federal level. Each state has different regulations, all of which must be in similar agreement with that of the federal regulations.

yes. all non- profit orginizations like that use donation and government money to run them
Yes. Most animal shelters are non-profit organizations and can grant tax deduction forms for those who donate money or goods to the shelter.
They take in stray and unwanted dogs, cats, small animals and some even take in farm animals. After a health check, the ones who are healthy are put up for adoption. Unfortunately, some aren't healthy or the shelter has too many and some must be put to sleep, one reason for spaying and neutering your pets. Some shelters are non kill.
Typically a person or group that is able to "pull" animals from shelters are rescue groups with their non-profit status. An animal is considered "pulled" when a city shelter has deemed it unfit for adoption for one or more reasons such as: age, aggression, illness, overcrowding, etc, but the shelter makes this animal available to recognized rescuers. Most city shelters require a rescue person or group to have a good reputation in the rescue community and a 501 (c)(3) non-profit status, but sometimes smaller cities will allow animals to be pulled by rescuers with a good rescue reputation that does not have a 501.
I count 11 franchises with non-animal names which have won the Super Bowl.
Most animal shelters require volunteers to be 15 years or older. There are liability issues, trust issues, etc. If you want to help now, donate food and blankets, but be sure to check the ASPCA or similar websites to know what can and can not be donated. Certain ingredients are banned from shelters. You can also donate money if you have some to spare.
The chances of you finding an English bulldog puppy at a shelter are extrremely low. This is largely because of the organization B.C.A.R.N (Bulldog Club of America Rescue Network) which rescues bulldogs and bulldog puppies from shelters and puts them into foster homes until a suitable home is found. Another reason why finding an English bulldog puppy in a shelter is rare is because bulldogs are very expensive. So for example if someone were to buy a $2,000 bulldog puppy, and had to get rid of it because they're allergic, usually aren't willing to give the dog to an animal shelter when they could, instead, sell him/her and get some of their money back.
