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 April, this number was 44, and removing these animals from the total number dispositioned leaves 226 “placeable” animals. <br /> <br />(2) Transferred to Rescue Service <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
