I recently found out that in most parts of Alabama, a law has been passed that maximizes the time a dog can be held in the pound to 72 hours... 72 HOURS!?!? That's ridiculous! How is it they expect for these animals to be adopted in 3 days? I sincerely wish that this same law could be passed for children's foster homes. Then, maybe people would understand how insanely harsh this law is to living creatures! Yes, I understand that dogs aren't children and all that sympathetic bull crap, but what they apparently do not understand is that dogs still feel, still hurt, and still LIVE! If every child that was given to adoption agencies was euthanized, or "put down", MURDERED after 72 hours of they're arrival, I believe people would be very upset... So upset, that I believe the law might change... Now wouldn't that just be peachy? Think about it

∙ 12y agoSadly yes, if a dog is there for more than about a week or two without finding an owner they will put the dog down. That's why when someone says that they got a dog from the pound they say that the rescued the dog.
It dependes on the centre if it if the RSPCA they never put a healthy dog down as they can normally find homes for them but most other pounds do as it is very in cost affective to keep dogs if no oe wants them
