I was wondering the same thing. Frankly, I'd have a few choice words for someone who has a dog and doesn't take care of her or find an appropriate place to live where she can have the dog in her own care -- it's not fair for her to blame the shelter.
Taking a dog to a no-kill shelter isn't a sure thing, either. No-kill shelters often turn animals away because they don't have room.
Having worked at an animal shelter, I can tell you that the decision to euthanize a dog for behavior can be made in about five minutes. Wonderful dogs are euthanized all the time because of relatively small problems or issues.
