Thank you for supporting homeless animals.  For every dog or puppy adopted from the shelter, another life is saved.

• In 2010 the shelter provided a safe haven for 13,062 dogs and puppies.

• 2,930 dogs were returned to their owners.

• A total 4,044 dogs and puppies were adopted, rescued or rehomed. 
  
• 3,395 of the dogs who entered our doors in 2010 were pit bull breeds.
  
• 53.4% of the dogs were redeemed, adopted, rescued or transferred to another shelter.
  
• 38.7% were euthanized due to poor health, advanced age or unsafe temperament. 8.9% were euthanized at the owner's request.
  
• 46% of the total dogs euthanized were pit bulls.
  
• Many of the rescued or adopted dogs were special needs dogs with treatable, rehabilitatable or other managable problems.  With additional medical care or treatment, they were eventually adopted.  Click here to meet some special needs dogs we are currently helping.

• The shelter performed thousands of spay or neuter surgeries, including all unaltered dogs prior to adoption.

• Each year our dog wardens visit thousands of school children and adults teaching them how to be safe around dogs.
