In the United States, about half of all pets put in shelters are killed. The other half are either reunited with their families or are adopted by new families.
The goal of no-kill shelters is to put pets into loving homes. Until that time, they may live at the shelter or in a foster home.
About 20 in each shelter across the US. In a year, 3-4 million.
It is difficult to give an accurate answer - many hundreds of thousands of animals are put to sleep each year, but the number will vary from country to country. "Too many" is my personal answer, as too many pets are being bred from, which can produce animals with poor health and temperaments, or people owning pets but are ignorant to the animal's needs, so will put them to sleep or put into shelters, where most are put to sleep in order to create more room for new animals being brought in.
When looking for a shelter for a pet that you can no longer care for - it is best to specifically look for "No Kill Shelters." These shelters specialize in taking in pets and do not euthanize the animals if an immediate adoption is not possible.
anaimal abuse is coming more and more common these days and many shelters are trying to help out the problem

No, they do not.
animal shelters try their best not to put animals down due to overcrowding. I have never heard of any shelter putting animals down for this reason, if they have too many they put good home wanted notices in papers and the internet. But, Depending where you are....They do put them down alot due to overcrowding.......Where i live,They put alot down each week.....I have to agree of what they should do....Put notices up...But most shelters just put them down...Its really truly sad :(
