What is the Potter Leagues policy on euthanasia?
The Potter is an open admission shelter, which accepts all animals from our service area. We never turn an animal away because of illness, age or temperament. Unfortunately not all animals we take in are suitable for placement. However, the Potter League has an extremely high placement/ return to owner rate. Approximately 85% of incoming animals are either adopted into new homes or safely returned to their owners. 15% are euthanized. A licensed veterinarian using an injection of sodium pentobarbital performs euthanasia.
