We are an open admission shelter - which means we have to take in any animal from Johnson County. Sometimes we have animals surrendered here that have attacked and mauled children, due to liability issues we cannot in good faith or with the public safety in mind allow that animal to leave the shelter. Other times we've had people surrender their pets who are suffering from a terminal illness and are in extreme pain. In both cases I just cited, we would humanely euthanize those animals. But, we haven't put an animal down for space in over 9 years (we receive in over 1700 dogs, cats, sheep, goats, birds, pigs, horses etc. a year!). I do hope this helps. BTW - we've had no kill shelters contact us and ask us if we would be willing to euthanize a dog or cat they had in their facility - we always politely decline.
