Accordantly with ASPCA Pet Statistics, the biggest decline in euthanized was in dogs (from 3.9 million to 3.3 million, in the last 5 years). Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats). The number of dogs and cats euthanized in U.S shelter annually has decline from approximately 2.6 million in 2011.
