There are still some shelters that euthanize sick animals while other are no-kill shelters.
I prefer the no kill . I wish there was a spaying neutering program or programs all over the US actually
Neutering actually applies to bothe sexes of animals. Most people get that confused.
Did not know that.  Have you ever worked at one before?
I haven't but I would like to. I love caring for animals.
There are about 5000 shelters running nationwide at this time. 
Yet there is no government-run organization that helps with refulating them.
A lot of the county or state run ones aren't run very well. Animals don't have enough laws protecting them
