Most around here are high kill shelters, the so called rescuers come out to them 2 or 3 times a week and grab their picks before they even open for the day. Then turn around and want to sell adoptions for anywhere from $250 to more than $500... can't say there is anything wrong with that, but cuts out a lot of people that come to the shelters looking for a specific breed, sex, or color. And resulting in the left overs being put down. When my Taffy and Cinnamon died last year, thought about looking for a couple more Yellow Labs for Buddy, but instead fell for a couple that probably nobody else would have wanted and were on their last days of being caged in these shelters that don't usually keep an animal for more than 4 or 5 day's. Some really nice pets in these high kill shelters that don't really have much of a chance and only crime being that that they were abandoned or allowed to roam, or even just having the bad luck of being born on the streets.
