Why is supporting Shelter Animals Count important?

"As a field we need to understand the trends by state, region and nationally in order to build out the best programs possible to protect animals. When we examine the various needs in our community, it is important to take a broader look at the statistics of other adoption agencies in our area. A broader view can confirm that the trend we are seeing are true across our region and not something unique to our adoption center."

- Michael Keiley, MSPCA-Angell

"Shelter Animals Count is a critical tool to allow shelters to compare their stats to each other, and work in coalitions to focus services and improve outcomes."

- Jerrica Owen, San Diego Humane Society

"Shelter Animals Count is an incredible initiative to remove the politics from data and simply provide us the information to build our programs and tell a stronger story about our organization’s successes and the unique challenges we face in our various communities."

- Matt Pepper, Michigan Humane
