Not all the shelters in my state are no kill, though. Some get funding from the state and because of budget cuts may be forced to cut the time they hold dogs and cats before euthanizing them.
Oh wow and here I was thinking I was unique in wanting shelters to foster out more pets to make room so that no animals would have to be turned away or put down. It's lovely to hear that your local shelter has a no kill policy and works with local rescue groups to foster pets out.
