I've read a book and articles online and in a magazine that a no kill facility further can mean that kill facilities are so overloaded with dogs a no-kill shelter might refuse(it happens when the no-kill shelters begin to fill up to the rafters, the budget is in the red and an old, very sick/very injured dog, likely un-fosterable(is this a read word?)/un-adoptable dog comes in for consideration and is refused entry) that they are inundated with so many dogs they have to up their daily kill count. Kill shelter workers say sometimes then the very old, very sick dog is just dumped or put down by the owner rather than take him to another facility.

You might want to check what their parameters are for refusing dogs when they are overfull, over budget and a dire case comes in that will require a great deal of expensive medication, vetting, possibly surgery/care or euthanasia or what? You might want to know what their feelings are in those cases and if they take all dogs, their list of foster homes is unlimited to take those kinds of cases that come in and will always take one and all in any condition or have rules about those situations. Otherwise, some kill facility and their budgets and morals will have to deal with those outlier dogs.
