When stray dogs are brought to shelters, the employees must determine if the animal is fit to be adopted.

Shelter Dogs is a 2003 documentary film directed and produced by Cynthia Wade about animal welfare in the United States and the ethics of animal euthanasia. Following a particular Upstate New York animal shelter and its staff over a three-year time span, Wade gives her audience a complex, honest look at the situations that arise when it comes to homeless animals and some of the difficult, controversial decisions that must be made within them.[1][2]

It was aired on HBO as part of the series America Undercover.
