Best Answer

In some form or another, animal shelters have been around since the beginning of time. Man has always cared for animals, and helped those in need.

The first actual humane society was created by Henry Bergh in April 1866 when he founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

Based on the latter, animal shelters have been around for the past 145 years

Are animals living in shelters in Canada being killed after a certain length of stay and if so by what method?

There are sadly tons and tons of shelters that humanely euthanize (Usually it is an injection into a vein) animals after a certain length of stay. There are so many animals that are going into shelters than there are being adopted. However there are also no kill shelters that will keep an animal as long as it takes to find it a home. If you have to bring an animal to a shelter please find out if it is a no kill shelter if it is find somewhere else that isn't.
