text: So what really takes place there?  It is a place where one can adopt a pet.  We have adopted multiple dogs from there over the years.  I don't believe they put down many dogs at least that was the case back when we first adopted.  Cats though are a different matter there are just far too many of them.  What is the solution if you don't put them down?  Probably can't build enough cages fast enough to house them all.
