Whenever I pick up dogs that seem sick or mistreated, I generally call as many rescue groups as possible and explore every other option. Sometimes I will foster them myself. I have been a volunteer at the shelters here for 5 years and signed a contract as well, but I don't think I've ever taken any dogs to the kill shelter (even though I'm supposed to by law). I do make attempts to find owners myself most of the time. Another possibility is asking animal control to alert you if the dog is not claimed or adopted and the time has run out for the dog.
Not saying you did the wrong thing. Just offering other suggestions for next time!
