I just started working at an animal shelter a few weeks ago. They have a no-kill policy when it comes to adoptable animals, but they do put animals down due to health and temperament issues. Unfortunately, the city the shelter is in forces them to put down feral cats. They don't allow TNR, even though some of the shelter staff have been trying to get them to change their minds for quite awhile (or so they told me), so my heart breaks a little every time I see animal control bringing in a feral cat.
Space is definitely a problem, though. We are completely at capacity for large dogs, and apparently, they had to turn a dog away the other day (I was off that day, so I can honestly say "it wasn't me!"). The woman who brought the dog in went psycho on the shelter's facebook page because of it. :/ It's sad to turn an animal away, but if there's no room, there's no room.
