The Humane Society will keep an animal for three (3) days, and then the animal will be evaluated to determine whether or not he or she can be safely adopted to another family.
If the animal is determined not to be "adoptable" -- by way of aggression (the cat is wild, the dog bites too easily when his food is messed with, etc.), illness (most facilities do not have the How_long_will_the_humane_society_keep_an_animalor resource to care for a sick animal, so they just put them down) or breed (Pit Bulls are not adoption candidates and are euthanized), the animal will be put down during the next day's "clean out".
Animals born in the facility are generally euthanized based on weight upon birth -- especially if the mother is aggressive. The facility I worked in would euthanize kittens who were 0.6 ounces underweight. I didn't stick around long enough to find out about the puppies; I couldn't take it anymore.
The facility will put down anywhere from 70-100 cats in a week or more. I am unsure about the number of dogs.

What kinds of animals can you find in Humane shelters?
You can find all sorts of animals in the Humane Society. Dogs and cats are the most common, of course, but you can also adopt rabbits, birds, small mammals, and possibly reptiles. It all depends on where you live and what shelter you are going to, but if you are thinking about adopting an animal the Humane Society is a great place to go. If you don't find any animal that you would like to adopt at the Humane Society, see if you have a local FAIR (Foundation for Animals In Risk) nearby.

Humane society are no kill while a dog pound will kill the animal Actually that is wrong, Humane Society's do kill, you would have to check with the individual Humane Society to find out whether they kill or not. Not all pounds/shelters kill either, many are working towards a no kill approach, which is good as long as animals are not left waiting for years in a kennel. Most shelters/pounds work with rescue groups to get the animals out but some do not and will not. That is when you start getting into the political game that some heads of Animal Control play, they don't want to be questioned or challenged on their practices of killing, so they ban rescues.
