In my area, you can just ask how things work. I think that many shelters are required to tell you what their policy is. required to tell you.

For instance, the city pound works closely with rescue groups AND the local SPCA and "foster homes" in order to minimize the number of animals that end up being euthanized. My understanding is that while the pound will euthanize, they don't pass an animal off to another group that will.

It's not even clear to me whether or not PETA operates a shelter: I can't find anything on a website that indicates that they do. Their website also makes no mention of being in the adoption business in their mission statement. I shot them an e-mail but may have to wait a couple of weeks for an answer due to volume issues.
