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 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.
There is no exact number available. However, it is estimated that there are thousands of non-kill shelters in the United States. These shelters focus on finding homes or providing long-term care for animals, rather than euthanizing them.
