Are WAHS animals ever euthanized?
A. We will euthanize an animal ONLY if it is suffering beyond any hope of recovery. We rely on local veterinarians to advise us if it is inhumane to allow a seriously ill or horribly injured animal to continue suffering. We also have occasion to euthanize an animal if it is deemed unsafe for the public. These cases are exceedingly rare, but they do occur.
