Impact and Programs
Accomplishments
We finished the 2017 year with an overall placement rate of 93.44%! For that to happen at an open admission shelter is amazing. 2,921 animals were placed or returned to owner in 2017. On average, animals spent less than 10 days in the shelter. We performed 1,820 surgeries on shelter pets prior to adopting them out, primarily spay/neuter surgery. We hosted 24 mobile spay/neuter clinics come to our area to offer affordable options to people of limited means or with feral cat colonies.
