To calculate placeable animals, we must <br />remove the animals surrendered for euthanasia, feral cats, and animals that arrive dead or die in our custody from the total number of animals <br />dispositioned. For March, this number was 37, and removing these animals from the total number dispositioned leaves 234 “placeable” animals. <br />(2) Transferred to Rescue Service <br />B.3 Reasons for Euthanasia: March 2008 <br />10
