What happens to animals surrendered at the Hutchinson Animal Shelter?

As long as the animals are healthy and adoptable, we will offer them up for adoption. However, we are not a no-kill facility and we frequently run out of space for animals and do end up euthanizing animals solely for space reasons some times.
