It depends on the shelter. Some are small while others are large. It can also depend on events in the area. When there is a major weather event there can be more dogs than normal or during the 4th of July period dogs get lost due to the fireworks. Types of dogs will also vary according to area. I know my area is over loaded with Chihuahuas.

What are all types of animal shelters?

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.


Which animal shelters have a no kill animal policy?

In my opinion, yes. Animals should not be killed if they can't get adopted. Put it this way, if you were in a foster home and you couldn't get adopted, would you want to be killed? No, so why should the shelters kill the animals? Exactly, they shouldn't because that is called abuse. So final answer: All animal shelters should become no-kill animal shelters.

What are the bad things about animals shelters?

The list below names some bad things about animal shelters: 1. The animals have had a bad experience will people; they are likely to have a bad temper. 2. Most animal shelters will kill more than 90% of the animals they keep. 3. Some animal shelters may kill animals that they have kept for 7 or 14 days. 4. You never know what you are buying from an animal shelter, as you may have seen the animal only on a poster that people have made to look attractive. 5. Some animal shelters may not try their hardest to sell animals, and therefore kill most of them. 6. Some animal shelters may use a toxic gas to suffocate the animals that they want to kill (as opposed to euthanasia). 7. Not all animal shelters will accept every animal that is offered to them, therefore not doing their job of saving animals and rather killing them. 8. Some animal shelters will even kill very young animals (puppies, kittens, etc.). 9. You don't know where animals from animal shelters have come from. Most of the animals have been found on the streets. Remember that you should always buy dogs from breeders. It is exceptional to buy birds, reptiles, rabbits, and cats from pet stores, but you never know where a dog from a pet store came from (shelter, puppy mill, etc.). Remember that breeders are always the best! I hope this helps, and that people will find a good alternative to animal shelters!
