Why is ASFAC often referred to on social media as a Kill shelter?

There is a common misnomer that “No Kill” shelters are where no animal is euthanized. To be a “No Kill” shelter the shelter should reach a 90% save rate. In the second quarter of 2024 the shelter had an 80% save rate for dogs and a 75% save rate for cats. These are improvements of 20% and 5% respectively quarter over quarter, a significant improvement due to staff involvement. However, unfortunately, euthanasia's do occur at the facility due to a variety of reasons.
