I've heard a lot of good things from people working at animal shelters and the work they do.  Have you ever been to an animal shelter?
I've never been to a shelter. , but I've heard about no-kill shelters and like the idea.
What is the no kill shelter?
The policy of a no kill shelter is to keep as many animals alive as possible, so they treat and rehab unhealthy animals where possible.
Does it ever get too crowded and the shelter ends up with too many animals?  What happens then?
I imagine it does get crowded, so terminally ill or dangerous animals are euthanized, which helps keep numbers down a bit.
isn't that counterproductive with the no kill shelter policy?  You treat them better and keep them alive only to be killing them later?
still be considered a no-kill shelter.

All of these animals are worthy of our compassion, all of them
will accept any animal, regardless of species, age, health, or temperament, every day and does not have a waiting list for admission to its shelter. The shelter has a program to rehabilitate aggressive animals, with the aim of finding homes for them, but is not a No-kill shelter; since most no-kill shelters have a closed door policy.
"Our behavioralists work on certain things like food aggression, getting them to be able to walk on a leash, barking behaviors – things like that
