What is the main breed in shelters?

So here in the uk at the moment it mainly staffs with rotties coming in second, but what about other parts of the world? I always thought it would be mutts but apparantly the smaller the dog the easier it is to sell, so a lot of pure bred dogs are in shelters and mainly staffs as they are popular at the moment so people buy them then get rid of them or breed them and find they still have pups left over that they can home because of the other hundred people who are selling. So in is it different in other countrys?

I think it’s Pitbulls here, too…wish people would quit breeding them for fun and recreation…and all the other crappy reasons. They are a nice dog, and deserve WAY better~
