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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shelters that practice euthanasia, often referred to as "kill shelters," can be found in various regions, particularly where animal overpopulation is a significant issue or funding for no-kill alternatives is limited. These shelters may euthanize animals due to space constraints, health issues, or behavioral concerns when they are unable to find homes for them in a timely manner. It's important to note that practices vary widely by location, and many shelters are working to transition to no-kill policies. Advocates encourage adoption and support for no-kill shelters to help reduce the number of animals euthanized.
In my opinion, yes. Animals should not be killed if they can't get adopted. Put it this way, if you were in a foster home and you couldn't get adopted, would you want to be killed? No, so why should the shelters kill the animals? Exactly, they shouldn't because that is called abuse. So final answer: All animal shelters should become no-kill animal shelters.
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.

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!
There are different types of animal shelters, including municipal shelters run by local government agencies, private shelters funded by donations, breed-specific shelters, no-kill shelters that do not euthanize animals, and rescue organizations that focus on specific species or situations (e.g., wildlife rescue). Each type serves the purpose of providing temporary care and finding homes for homeless animals.
