An animal shelter or pound is a place where stray, lost, abandoned or surrendered animals, mostly dogs and cats, and sometimes sick or wounded wildlife are brought. While no-kill shelters exist, it is sometimes policy to euthanize sick animals, and any animal that is not claimed quickly enough by a previous or new owner. In Europe, of 30 countries included in a survey, all but three (Germany, Greece, and Italy) permitted the killing of healthy stray dogs. Critics believe the new term "animal shelter" is generally a euphemism for the older term "pound". The word "pound" had its origins in the animal pounds of agricultural communities, where stray livestock would be penned or impounded until claimed by their owners.
United States
In the United States there is no government-run organization that provides oversight or regulation of the various shelters on a national basis. However, many individual states do regulate shelters within their jurisdiction. One of the earliest comprehensive measures was the Georgia Animal Protection Act of 1986. The law was enacted in response to the inhumane treatment of companion animals by a pet store chain in Atlanta. The Act provided for the licensing and regulation of pet shops, stables, kennels, and animal shelters, and established, for the first time, minimum standards of care. The Georgia Department of Agriculture was tasked with licensing animal shelters and enforcing the new law through the Department's newly created Animal Protection Division. An additional provision, added in 1990, was the Humane Euthanasia Act, which was the first state law to mandate intravenous injection of sodium pentothal in place of gas chambers and other less humane methods. The law was further expanded and strengthened with the Animal Protection Act of 2000.
She fell down and cried in despair as she chased her owner's truck from the dump
A guard witnessed it all and he called us, he thought the dog was pregnant and really needed help. When we were there we knew that was not the case, she had a problem with her stomach.
The days that followed were not easy but the tears she shed paid off as she lived happily with a healthy body.

Both dogs looked at me with teary eyes and begged me to take them out of their house
The neighbor of the two dogs sent us pictures of them and wished we could get there soon so we could take them.
When we got there we met one dog outside and another dog still inside.
We took them away and gave them a new life where they could truly feel love and care.

This dog’s reaction of getting adopted is awesome 🙌
published: 20 Feb 2023
The old dog cried trembling in the corner, he wishes his owner would love him just once
We received a video of a garbage collector who saw an old dog limping on the street and asked us to go there to help the dog. We went to find the dog and found him lying on a pile of dry leaves and we did everything we could to get him to the hospital for treatment.
Our journey lasted for months and then we cured him so he could start a new life better and happier.

The little dog, abandoned and bullied, was won over by a kind-hearted woman
published: 12 Feb 2024
After 11 years of being chained, the dog thought he would be free, but suffering came
Lucky was the dog that the neighbor accidentally saw and reported to us, when we arrived Lucky was lying sadly and could not stand up, we took Lucky away from there and took him to the hospital for treatment. Our journey started from there and then Lucky's tears and efforts brought positive signals. Lucky was healthier and more importantly he felt the love that everyone gave him, those were the things that changed Lucky's life later.

(Music: A. Belov, Words: N. Shneider & A. Johannes) (Verse 1:) One of this days, I'm gonna like a dream... Chasing your ghost, patting my head like a scream... Locking me up - taking me out - turning a friend into dust Why give me bread, when all your touch ends up dead... When did I choose? How did I lose? set me free... Give me a break, my only mistake was to be... Without a tag, stuffed in a bag, stolen away from my nature If I'm the best, how do you treat all the rest (Chorus:) Shelter me, Shelter me, Shelter me Shelter me, Shelter me, Shelter me Like a dog, Like a dog, Like a dog (Verse 2:) Maybe you see, some other uses for me... Lab in a Lab, I'd rather bark up a tree... Don't wanna stay, why should I play? Don't wanna wait by the door Give me the ball And I just roll over and die... (Chorus) (Organ solo) (Chorus) One of this days, I'm gonna like a dream...
