Our Progress
As an organization, we have made so many positive changes over the past couple years. We have built important relationships in our community. We’ve found the perfect homes for hundreds of animals and performed thousands of low cost spay/neuter surgeries to control the population of unwanted animals leading to neglect, abandonment or suffering of the pets we hold dear to us. We have taken our Live Release Rates from 67% to 90% over the past 5 years. Being documented as a “no kill” facility is not our priority. We are only concerned that our animals are treated humanely and that all animals are cared for in our community. We do not have the luxury of turning away animals in need and take in all medical cases.
2023 Outcomes
We always strive to have no-kill statistics, but unfortunately that is not always attainable as an open-admission shelter with an Animal Control Division. We cannot allow an animal to suffer or adopt out a pet that shows severe signs of aggression that our staff and trainers cannot work with. Here is how 2023 looked for us. We are very proud that we did reach our goal of a 90% Live Release Rate
Live Release Rate: 90%
Intake:
In 2023, we had 2,409 animals come through our doors -761 dogs and 1648 cats.
Adoptions:
1287 animals found their forever homes through our shelter – 388 dogs and 899 cats.
Transfers:
Sometimes we will transfer an animal to rescue organizations if they have health problems, can’t handle the stress of long-term kenneling, or aren’t getting exposure at our facility. We transferred out 62 dogs and 393 cats.
Returns:
Between Animal Control and pets brought in by Good Samaritans, we reunited 283 pets with their owners – 247 dogs and 36 cats.
Foster:
2023 was a huge year for our foster program! We raised hundreds of animals outside of our shelter environment.
