Two children walk up to the front desk, one about 13 and the other about 8. Both are awkwardly holding scruffy dogs by their armpits.
"Hi! We'd like to donate our dogs!"
"You mean surrender them?"
Yes!
We don't have any open kennels, so there's a high chance your dogs could be euthanized if you surrender them.
-blank stare-
Put down...?
-blank stare-
Put to sleep?
Oh! But they wake up, right?
No.
Ohhh. So you mean...?
Yes. Dead.
-sad face-

A woman walks in. She is pushing a stroller with a baby in it, holding a toddler by the hand, carrying a half-full large bag of dog food and holding a chain leash to a boxer. She only has two hands, and the baby in the stroller is flailing about and the boxer looks frazzled, almost as frazzled as her owner.
"I need to drop my dog off."
"We don't have any open kennels, and there's a high chance she might be put down."
Oh, but she's a very nice dog.
It doesn't matter. If we don't have space, we don't have space. The only way would be if we took another dog and put her in their kennel, and we don't want to make that decision. I'm sure you wouldn't want to go back there and decide which dog goes to make space for her.
You mean, I can go and choose a puppy and put her there instead?
No.
