∙ 14y agoThis depends greatly on your local ordinances. Some places can put down simply bringing an animal in. Others have minimum hold times (3 to 10 days) for strays, while still others give only 24 hours after an owner relinquishes control of an animal, the latter for "owner remorse", and even if the shelter is a kill type shelter, if the shelter operators are not legally blocked otherwise, sometimes they will keep the animal and put it up for adoption or send it to animal rescues that will adopt the animal out. There are other places, where the local pound is contracted through no-kill shelters, and while they are "no-kill" they actually still put down animals due to health reasons. You should check your local city and county websites for information or give a call to the pound you're interested in.

∙ 13y agoWhen your dog has been in chronic pain or is too old and infirm to have a good quality of life. Or when the vet tells you there is nothing more than can do for the dog. Basically, whenever the future looks like there is going to be nothing but suffering for the poor dog, it is time to put him out of misery. What a tough choice, though!

Do you get good sleep when you sleep with your dog?
It depends on your dog. If your dog kicks, rolls over or gets up in the night, you might not want to sleep with them. Try it out and sleep with your dog for one night. But your dog is one of the most comforting thing in your house and may put you right to sleep. A lot of the times a bigger dog will wake you up and wont really make you feel comfortable. Really it all depends on your dog if he wont wake you up in the night and he is a smaller dog id say go for it.
