• We have been building on the skills and abilities of staff through training and have every reason <br />to believe that our human resources will continue to grow stronger in the coming years— <br />strengths that are already readily apparent in our service to the public and our care of animals. <br />• In the same vein, two vacant positions with administrative responsibilities for our sheltering <br />services are expected to be filled, and doing so is another opportunity to strengthen our human <br />resources and leadership capabilities as we move forward in developing and delivering animal <br />services. <br />• Orange County is well along the way to having a new state-of-the-art animal services facility, one <br />that has greater capacity per se, allows attractive presentation of adoptable animals, and that <br />more effectively controls infectious disease while better ensuring animal wellness. <br />• Integral to the design of the County’s new facility is the promotion of animal placements by <br />creating a much more inviting and desirable destination for members of the public—one to which <br />they are drawn for the non-human members of their families and one which achieves a visible <br />profile throughout the County. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Shelter Activity January 2007 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dogs Cats Others Total <br />In Shelter Custody <br />as of January 1, 2007 110 74 6 190 <br /> + <br />Total Admitted January 2007 165 105 9 279 <br />Sheltered in January 2007 275 179 15 469 <br /> - <br />Dispositions for January 2007 (1) 202 128 9 339 <br />Remaining in Shelter Custody <br />on February 1, 2007 (2) 73 51 6 130 <br /> <br />(1) Includes corrections to previous month <br />(2) Within Shelter: 66 dogs, 43 cats, 2 other <br /> In Foster Homes / Pet Stores: 7 dogs, 10 cats, <br />4 other <br /> <br /> Dispositions <br /> % of Total <br /> Dogs Cats Others Total Dispositions <br />Reclaimed 34 8 0 42 12.39% <br />Adopted 40 53 6 99 29.20% <br />Transfers (3) 21 15 2 38 11.21% <br />Euthanized 106 51 1 158 46.61% <br />Died 1 1 0 2 0.59% <br />Other (1) 0 0 0 0 0.00% <br />Totals 202 128 9 339 100.00% <br /> <br />(3) Transfers to Rescue Services.
