• 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 />Shelter Activity <br />September 2006 <br /> <br /> Dogs Cats Others Total <br />In Shelter Custody <br />as of Sept 1, 2006 (1) 63 107 4 174 <br /> + <br />Total Admitted Sept 2006 195 239 6 440 Returns 5 dogs, 2cats <br />Sheltered In Sept 2006 258 346 10 614 <br /> - <br />Dispositions for Sept 2006 180 253 6 439 <br /> <br />In Foster Homes 7 39 0 46 <br />In Pet Stores 0 0 0 0 <br />Within Shelter 71 64 4 139 <br /> <br />Total Within Animal Services <br />custody on October 1 2006 78 93 4 175 <br /> <br />(1) Includes corrections to previous month <br /> <br /> Dispositions <br /> % of Total <br /> Dogs Cats Others Total Dispositions <br />Reclaimed 44 10 2 56 12.76% <br />Adopted 55 65 2 122 27.79% <br />Transfers (1) 11 31 0 42 9.57% 6 dogs, 21 cats to rescue/pet store <br />Euthanized 66 144 0 210 47.84% 2 dogs, 1 cat euthanized for euth/disp <br /> 68 cats (40%) feral <br />Died 2 3 0 5 1.14% <br />Other (1) 2 0 2 4 0.91% <br />Totals 180 253 6 439 100.00% <br /> <br />(1) Transfers were all to APS unless specified otherwise at right <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
