There are an estimated 3 to 4 million cats and dogs that are euthanized in the UK each year. Sadly, many of these animals are healthy, but unwanted.
It is estimated that there are between 1.5 to 2 million dogs euthanized every year. This would translate to 0.06 dogs euthanized each second.
It depends on what rescue organization they are in. Many rescue groups and some shelters have no-kill policies. Others will euthanize a dog, with each shelter having its own guidelines.

There are no central agency gathering numbers from all the shelters in the US each year but itâ??s estimated that over 3 million pets are euthanize each year. This is down significantly from the 20 million that would be euthanize in the 1970s before the campaigns to get shelter pets adopted took root.
The Humane Society of the United States estimates about 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized by shelters every year. The statistic is limited by the number of shelters that give such information. A disproportionate number of those 3-4 million are cats. Dividing 3-4 million by 365 (days in a year), and you get 8,200-11,000 dogs/cats per day. This is why people need to understand the importance of having their pets spayed or neutered.
