OUR ANNUAL SHELTER NUMBERS
we do want to share our 2022 accomplishments with you in our effort to save lives.

At the shelter each day we focus on every individual animal and never our "numbers". It isn't until the year comes to a close that we sit down and see what our Live Release Rate was for the year. Although this is a very important number that many people wish to know, it is often not fully understood by the public, and it also shouldn't be a shelter's sole focus. Each year we fight very hard for imperfect and/or ailing animals that find themselves at our shelter. Thanks to the hard working staff, volunteers, veterinarians, foster homes, and partner organizations our annual life release numbers are truly amazing - especially considering the very small size of our shelter facility and the number of special cases we take in each year. |
