According to the study by the National Council on Pet Population, Study and Policy, by Dr. M.D. Salman, for those pet owners who would state their reasons for relinquishing their pet to an animal shelter, about 15% said that their animals were ill or old and needed to be euthanized; 7% said they are moving; 5% felt that they had to many animals; 4% said owning a pet cost too much; and 3.5% said that the animal had soiled their house.
Sixty-four percent of pets that come into shelters are euthanized instead of adopted into new homes.
