Why do dogs get transferred to different shelters?
Transferring is simply a case of supply and demand. There are so many areas that have high number of homeless pets, which we call source shelters. And there are so many shelters in some states, typically in the Midwest and the East and West coasts, that have so many adopters- they don’t have enough animals.
What happens to animals that are not adopted?
If your dog doesn’t get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn’t full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed, it may get a stay of execution, though not for long.
