It s hoped that revised regulations will recognize services provided by some shelters other than adoption.  Such services include acceptance of all animals regardless of whether they may be adoption candidates.  They also include programs such as compassionate euthanasia for pet owners who need to surrender a pet because they cannot afford the $300-400 to have the pet euthanized at a veterinary hospital.  It is important to recognize that shelters who do not reject any animal will have different challenges than those shelters who choose which animals they will accept.
