Summary Statistical Report: <br />January 2008 * <br />Animal Services Department, Orange County, <br />North Carolina <br />Introduction <br />This is the Animal Services Department’s mo nthly statist ical report for the month of <br />January 2008. Each month a standard set of summary statist ics are generated regarding <br />our core or essent ial services and act ivit ies. These are essent ial for purposes of effective <br />management and administration in different program areas, in both our Animal Control <br />and Animal Sheltering Divisio ns. At the same time, these statist ics are an invaluable tool <br />in communicating to various stakeho lders, the general public and our elected officials and <br />County management the scope and extent of animal services. <br />Notably, these monthly statist ics provide a basis for thinking about sheltering practices in <br />a broader context. Adoption and euthanasia numbers must be understood in the context <br />of a mult itude of other influent ial factors, including the number of animals that come into <br />Orange Count y’s Animal Shelter and the availability of medical and behavioral <br />resources. By far the greatest factor influencing sheltering practices in our own <br />communit y and others is that of “pet overpopulation,” a communit ywide problem <br />consist ing of a large number animals for whom there are no homes. As we continue to <br />push forward to find better and more innovative ways in which to improve, we must <br />remember that all o f these factors work together to create the broader challenge we must <br />address as a department, a county, and a communit y. <br />Standard Statistics <br />Each of our monthly reports contains various statistics that summarize the various <br />activit ies o f the County’s Animal Services Department. These are standard statist ics <br />inso far as for a given month, such as January, they report on the same core or essential <br />services. They are all presented at the end of the narrative portion of this report. <br />Some statist ics capture the overall effort of all staff as they work together to provide <br />integrated and coordinated animal services to the cit izens o f Orange Count y. These <br />include: <br />1. A.1 Monthly Demographics (which shows from where and how animals arrived at <br />Orange Count y’s Animal Shelter). <br />2. A.2 Monthly Shelter Activity (which shows total animal intakes and disposit io ns). <br />* Questions about the statistics or narrative discussion may be addressed to Andi Morgan, Administrative Assistant, <br />Orange County Animal Services at amorgan@co.orange.nc.us.
