The local shelter isn’t the only place where an animal can be put down peacefully. One might argue it’s more traumatic for many animals to be taken there for euthanization.

Rather than in a strange place with lots of other dogs, territorial stuff, waits in unfamiliar kennels, unfamiliar food, all that.
