Animal Services Monthly Report February, 2008 <br />2 <br />Other statist ics are more specific in summarizing the services and act ivit ies of our <br />department’s Animal Sheltering and Animal Control Divisio ns. These include: <br />Animal Sheltering <br />1. B.1 Monthly Dispositions (which reports the disposit ions of all animals sheltered <br />in a given mo nth) <br />2. B.2 Live Release for Placeable and Recovered Animals (discussed in detail in the <br />fo llo wing sect ions). <br />3. B.3 Reasons for Euthanasia (which reports the specific reasons for which animals <br />were euthanized in a given month) <br />4. B.4 Volunteer Hours (reports volunteer hours and how they compare to previous <br />mo nths and years) <br />Animal Control <br />1. C.1 Rabies Exposures Investigated and Positive Cases (which reports positive <br />rabies tests and related invest igations conducted by Animal Control Officers). <br />2. C.2 Rabies Alert Map (showing posit ive cases yeartodate, by comparison wit h <br />previous years, and their locat ion throughout Orange County). <br />3. C.3 Rabies Vaccinations (which reports the number of vaccinations given by area <br />veterinarians, at lowcost vaccination clinics organized by our department, and at <br />Orange Count y’s Animal Shelter). <br />Together, these mo nthly statistics provide a convenient summary o f our crit ical services <br />and act ivit ies. In a very transparent manner, they describe the efforts of our staff in <br />delivering field services, sheltering animals whose disposit ions they must ultimately <br />decide, and programs such as our volunteer program that, among other things, is <br />responsible for public outreach activit ies and dog walking. <br />Statistical Development <br />The summary statistics provided in our monthly reports are not static. They must be <br />subject to change as our services are redefined, our practices evo lve, and we produce the <br />most useful statist ical information. A good example of change is table B.3 Reasons for <br />Euthanasia. Staff captured and encouraged the reporting o f this information to make <br />adoption figures, as well as the reasons for euthanasia, more meaningful and transparent. <br />It does matter greatly whether a behaviorally sound and healthy animal is euthanized as a <br />result of space limitations or an animal is euthanized because it is aggressive or infirm. <br />In the month of February, for example, the most commo n cat euthanasia reasons were <br />feral and behavior, with 25 cats euthanized for those two reasons. This number made up <br />64 percent of all cats euthanized during the month and 30 percent of all animals <br />euthanized. For dogs, the primary reason for euthanasia for the month was behavioral,
