What progress has the shelter made towards animal welfare?
Historically, approximately 2000 animals are admitted to the Shelter each year. Adoptions were increased to 925 in 2000 and 1249 in 2001 compared to a range of 618 to 823 during the previous nine years. New programs have been developed to network with other animal welfare organizations and find creative alternatives to euthanasia. Some of these include national breed rescue organizations, local foster families and behavioral training.
