WHS is an Open Admission shelter, which means they are required to take whatever animal walks through their doors, regardless of age, breed, temperament, health, etc. They turn NO animal away. This means that often times, they are faced with the hard decision as to what the best option is for the animal. If an animal is in pain, suffering, or has severe behavior problems that pose a risk to public safety, euthanasia can be the most humane outcome. WHS very, very rarely euthanizes for space: every single animal that is healthy and behaviorally-sound will be placed up for adoption, and does not have a “time-limit”. They stay at the shelter until they are adopted. WHS strives to exhaust every possible option for an animal before considering euthanasia. They have a large Foster program, as well as solid working relationships with other shelters/rescues in the area that give them the the opportunity to transfer animals out to environments better suited for their needs. Hope this helps!
I am not sure on that.
