These issues vary <br />widely between cats, dogs and other animals, and can include aggression, lack of socialization, severe kennel stress or other factors that make the animal <br />a risk if placed back into the community. <br /> <br />(2) “Medical” includes a wide range of conditions and diseases that may prevent an animal from being available for adoption to the public due to unsound <br />health. These conditions range in severity and differ greatly between cats, dog and other animals. Additionally, because we test animals for certain <br />diseases as a standard protocol, these are often more easily identifiable and thus can be separated as a specific condition statistic. For example, the <br />“Feline Leukemia” category above is listed separately, though it is a medical condition. <br /> <br /> <br />B.4 Volunteer Hours: December 2009 <br />0 <br />100 <br />200 <br />300 <br />400 <br />500 <br />600 <br />700 <br />800 <br />900 <br />JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec <br />2005 <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />2008 <br />2009 <br />
