Orange County Animal Services Shelter Practices and Philosophies <br />• A World Apart: Navigating the Road Between Dreams and Reality (Part 2 of <br />"What Would It Take?") - A related article from Animal Sheltering about recent <br />developments in the field of animal sheltering.. <br />• Thinking Big in North Carolina: The Humane Alliance Proves Attitude is <br />Everything - An article from APSCA Animal Watch on this pioneering approach <br />to the problem of pet overpopulation in Western North Carolina, <br />• Spay/Neuter Receives Grant, National Attention - An article from Asheville <br />Citizen-Times on this pioneering approach to the problem of pet overpopulation <br />in Western North Carolina <br />• Various Links and Resources - A collection of resources, websites, and <br />publications providing additional information on the issues regarding Limited- <br />Admission sheltering. <br />Glossary of Terms <br />Limited-Admission: Refers to a farm of sheltering that limits or restricts animal intake. <br />In some instances, animals may be turned away and in others they may be put on a <br />"wait list." Also, there usually are specific criteria for deciding whether an animal will be <br />admitted (though these vary widely between different shelters). Limited admission is <br />often a concomitant of no-kill sheltering practiced by privately operated shelters as it <br />controls the number of shelter animals through intake limitations rather than through <br />euthanasia. <br />Open Admission: Refers to a sheltering practice that prohibits a shelter from turning <br />away animals on any basis (although in practice there tend to be some soft geographic <br />restrictions).. Many privately run shelters are open admission shelters because of their <br />mission of ensuring that animals are not abandoned and do not needlessly suffer.. <br />Municipal and county non shelters are open admission because of legal mandates as <br />well citizen demands far services and an overall commitment to the health and safety of <br />animals and citizens alike. <br />Public shelter: Refers to an animal shelter that is operated and funded primarily by a <br />county government or that has a contractual obligation to fulfill certain public functions, <br />Perhaps most importantly, such shelters are subject to various legal mandates, e.g., <br />stray hold periods for cats and dogs, biting animal quarantines, seizures as a result of <br />cruelty, neglect and/or irresponsibility. <br />Private Shelter: Refers to an animal shelter that is run independent of a county <br />government, usually on anon-profit basis by a humane or protective society.. Perhaps <br />most importantly, unless there is a contract with a municipal or county government, <br />there are no legal mandates. Thus the intake guidelines for such a shelter can be <br />determined by the organization that runs it quite independently of such legal mandates. <br />No Kill: Arguably, there is no single definition of this term, nor is it affiliated with a <br />specific set of policies and procedures. Far some, it may mean that no animals are <br />
