That depends on the shelter they go to. Many shelters now have a no euthanasia policy

so the animal will be adopted out no matter how long it takes. Other shelters are so over crowded they set a time limit on the number of days an animal may stay at the facility.

Why do people put animals to sleep if they dont get adopted?

There are a few reasons animals must be euthanized if they do not get adopted. The primary reason is lack of space. In a shelter that does not turn animals away, this is a very common problem. In most places stray animals must be held a specific number of days before they can either be put into the adoption program or be euthanized. This gives the real owner the opportunity to find and reclaim the animal. During the holding period for the stray animal there are still other animals coming into the shelter. If those animals are healthy and adoptable, they need a space to live until they are adopted, go to rescue, or can find a foster home. Animals that come to the shelter that are sick or mentally unstable, will be euthanized immediately if it is determined that the animal cannot be helped. In some cases dogs that have been in shelter for a long period of time will develop "kennel stress." A dog with kennel stress begins to show behaviors that are not typical for that particular dog. Some of the symptoms include: hyperactivity, increased barking, depression, anxiety, and sometimes aggression. The shelter staff can try to control the severity of the kennel stress by moving the dog to a different kennel or different room for a change of scenery. It also helps if the dog can be moved to a quieter area of the shelter. Increased exercise will help the dog as well as taking the dog to an event such as an adoption day or obedience classes. If the dog does not get adopted, sent to rescue, or put into a foster home, it will eventually become so mentally unstable that it will have to be euthanized. The best ways to prevent euthanization of adoptable animals is to adopt an animal from a shelter, be a foster parent, be a responsible owner by not allowing your animal run loose, and do not get an animal unless you are sure you will be able to keep it for his entire natural life. All dogs and cats should be microchipped. This will allow a shelter to find the animal's owner very quickly if it becomes lost. Collars and tags are good but can be lost or stolen. Another way to decrease the number of animals entering animals shelters each year is to have your animal spayed or neutered.

Where should animals live and why?

Animals should live somewhere where there is shelter and where they can get food that is familiar with their habitat. If they dont have atleast shelter, the animal is most likely to die. And if they do have shelter but dont have the spacific food that they are familiar with, then that is another way that they can die off of.

How many animals get hurt from animal abuse?

There would be a short amount in shelter depending on how big the shelter is. Animals dont expect to be living in a shelter because they want a loving home but insted they have to be living in a shelter. The animals only get o week to live there because they need more space to put all of the other animals that are coming. Some animals can get really hurt and put into a shelter but they are already hurt and then they have to worry about them dieing in a couple of days There would be a short amount in shelter depending on how big the shelter is.
