SUMMARY OF 2001 NUMBERS
INTAKE: Intake decreased by 4,707 animals or 7.7% over 2000
ADOPTIONS: Overall Adoptions is only 22.8% of intake and decreased by 1,455 animals. Rescue decreased by 1,806 animals or by 21.7% from 2000. ASPCA took out 42 fewer animals; NSAL took out 95 fewer animals than in 2000
EUTHANASIA: Represents 76.7% of intake in 2001; proportionately more than the 74.6% in 2000
OWNER SURRENDERED: 1,006 fewer animals were surrendered at the CACC shelters as "owned"
1,442 few animals were surrendered at the CACC shelters as "stray".
NOTE - 1,890 animals arrived DOA at the shelters in 2001; 1,798 in 2000. This is not necessarily the fault of CACC - but one wonders how many smothered to death in the trunk of police cars; how many were abandoned to the street to die by cars; how many were in dog fights; abused by people. Besides the unacceptable euthanasia numbers, this is a hideous number to deal with in a civilized society.
