Humane Society of Utah did not have to euthanize any healthy dogs in 2009

"We bring in as many as 60 a month," said Baierschmidt, "very small breeds, often Chihuahuas, because there is a shortage of them here. Many of those are taken from Los Angeles shelters where they were ready to be euthanized and we can find them good homes. The dogs we transfer out are usually larger dogs. In certain parts of the country, there is a shortage of them." One Colorado town, he said, easily adopts out Utah's larger transfers because hikers are especially fond of them. Ref. Source 5
