To calculate placeable animals, we must <br />remove the animals surrendered for euthanasia, feral cats, animals that arrive dead or die in our custody, bite quarantine animals, and animals that have <br />been confiscated from the total number of animals dispositioned. For December, this number was 26, and removing these animals from the total number <br />dispositioned leaves 256 “placeable” animals. <br /> <br />(2) Transferred to Rescue Service <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
