(1) Live Releases include all animals that are not euthanized, i.e., transfers to placement partners, returns to owners and custodians, and direct adoptions.
The “live release rate” is calculated by dividing the live releases by the total number of placeable animals. To calculate placeable animals, we must
remove the animals surrendered for euthanasia, feral cats, animals that arrive dead or die in our custody, bite quarantine animals, and animals that have
been confiscated from the total number of animals dispositioned. For January, this number was 39, and removing these animals from the total number
dispositioned leaves 317 “placeable” animals.

(1) “Behavioral” includes a wide range of behavioral issues that August prevent an animal from being available for adoption to the public. These issues
vary widely between cats, dogs and other animals, and can include aggression, lack of socialization, severe kennel stress or other factors that make the
animal a risk if placed back into the community.
(2) “Medical” includes a wide range of conditions and diseases that August prevent an animal from being available for adoption to the public due to
unsound health. These conditions range in severity and differ greatly between cats, dog and other animals. Additionally, because we test animals for
certain diseases as a standard protocol, these are often more easily identifiable and thus can be separated as a specific condition statistic. For example, the
“Feline Leukemia” category above is listed separately, though it is a medical condition.
