Thousands of healthy, adoptable animals in shelters across the US are put to sleep everyday. The shelters are extremely overcrowded and cannot hold that many animals at one time. And this time of year is an especially hard time as the shelters are over capacity with dogs being turned in right as the summer starts. The reasons include everything like moving, summer travel, no time, and a host of other excuses. As a result, “owner surrendered” pets are usually the first ones to get euthanized.
