preventing the euthanasia of adoptable companion animals

Ah, that's the trick! Many shelters accept all animals because being choosey means that some will get dumped on the highway near the first farm they see as they drive out of town. I'm not a fan of no-kills because I've seen far too many pets go cage crazy. The loss of mind & heart (and the subsequent loss of hope for a new home) is worse than the loss of life. Being choosey over which pets are accepted helps, as do foster homes. btw, the shelter where I worked was in Ohio, too.
