Are dogs put to sleep after the owner has given pet to human society for adoption?
That is certainly a possibility. Five to ten million shelter pets are killed every year, simply because they are not adopted. Visit Facebook pages for animal control and animal shelters. See how many pets are marked "urgent" or "code red." That means they’re going to die in the next day or two.
If you need to re-home your dog because of a behavioral issue, consult an expert and try to work through the issue.
Do not post your dog on craigslist. Dogs that are posted on craigslist are often sold for bait dogs or for scientific research.
If you must re-home your dog, try to find a no-kill rescue (look for general and breed-specific rescues in your state). You can find countless rescue (and shelter/animal control) pages on Facebook.
