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.

Well, if it is a non-kill shelter they spend the rest of their lives behind bars, or until they get adopted.If it is a KILL shelter... well when their time is up they get poision injected into them and they die.

In the case of cats, which are classified as "self-sustaining animals," (meaning that they are capable of living on their own, without the help of humans) many shelters have started to spay / neuter strays found in parks, and then release them back to where they found them.

Most dogs are either found running as a stray or are turned in the the shelter by their previous owners. The shelter receives a phone call from the public when they locate a stray dog and the animal control officers are sent to pick it up or the officers find a stray dog when it is running loose in traffic or is in danger.

Animal shelters take care of animals until they get adopted by anyone that passes the animal's home needs like no little kids with a small dog if they want that type of animal.

As abused animals have a history of being mistreated, shelters usually try and find homes for them that are suitable and willing.

If they can't be helped much, they put them to sleep.
