I believe it depends on what kind of animal shelter you go to. There are two different kinds. The no kill and the kill..
If the regular kill shelter then you would have to deal with animals being put down left and right, BUT makes room for more animals to come through. Only problem is in my point of view is this, the animals being brought in to fill in the places of animals that have already or just been put down have a sightly longer life span just roaming free than in a 'kill shelter'.
The no kill is similar but at the same time very different. It has its pros and cons just like the other one. The biggest pro for the no kill is just that, they don't kill their animals. They keep them till they get adopted or fostered then again at the same time if you want to look at it from a negative point of view, since they are 'no kill' then the animals not getting adopted are taking up space for who knows how long from other animals that could be brought in and saved.
There you have it, the pros and cons of both animal shelter types. I for one am for the No Kill shelter but still gave the best pros and cons of both shelters. Hope this helped you.
Shelters kill animals if they are sick or aggressive. Sadly, they do kill animals if they get too full.
Only high kill shelters get real money :( Shelters only get money when they humanly euthanize animals. Makes NOOOOOOOOOOOOO sense at all. No kill shelters are run by donations. DO NOT support high kill shelters, puppy mills or pestores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is over 300 shelters in the us that kill animals if they are not bought in a certain amount of time

No
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.
Due to the popularity of harm-free shelters, the numbers of shelters that allow killing is on the decline. Many states are gradually phasing out such shelters in favor of the more humane harm-free shelters.

There are several no-kill animal shelters in PA. Some are located in Erie and there are others located in adjacent cities that can also be convenient.
Yes. All animal shelters have different characteristics. Some will kill old animals, some will kill animals that never get adopted. Some will never exterminate animals!
