our feelings and not wanting to tell you the dog was destroyed? Or are they up front, "sorry destroyed", or "yeah! - adopted."

Why are you asking us on here ?
We don't know what shelter you are talking about and don't say they are all the same.
Why don't you ask them?

The rescue group I work for is straight up with people. We do take in dogs with behavior problems, and we foster them in kind, dog-savvy homes to see how they do. It is extremely rare for us to find homes that can handle the worst cases - the aggressive fear biters, who actively go out of their way to attack the things/people/dogs that they don't like. And it's even harder to have to tell people that were interested in the dog that, for whatever reason, there was no way for the dog to live with a new family without causing great harm. But if a dog has been adopted, we will let people know as soon as we can that the dog has found a forever home.
Most foster/rescue groups are run by unpaid volunteers. Therefore, web sites aren't always updated, foster situations change abruptly, new dogs come into the group, and others get adopted - often in a very short time period. This is another thing to keep in mind when you're looking to adopt.

It goes both ways! I was on a wait list for a beautiful, friendly loving Bully Breed who was euthanized over adoption. I inquired because I was mad. I would have given the dog a great home! The pound said that they never had a wait list and no one wanted to adopt the dog. I can't tell you how mad I was about this, so I really don't know if the truth is always told.

Most shelters are up front with you. If the dog has been adopted they say so.

At our local shelter, they will tell you the truth. Dogs are adopted regularly, and I rarely see a dog euthanized, but there are so many cats, that some are euthanized.

I would certainly hope that they are honest with you. Lying does not help anyone in the long run, and indicates that they feel that euthanizing is shameful. No one likes the idea of euthanizing, but it is an unfortunate fact as a result of overpopulation.

It just depends on the shelter and the people who are running it, unfortunately.
