The Live Release (Save) Rate report is generated directly from our database giving the inventory, intake and outcome of all dogs and cats (the report does NOT include small mammals, TNR or other community spay/neuter surgeries).

 The Live Release Rate, also known as the
Save Rate, is the percentage of dogs and cats adopted, returned to their owner, or transferred to another organization.

 Please keep in mind there is no perfect report to measure the success of a shelter. It is important to know, before looking at these reports, every shelter has its own definition of what is healthy, unhealthy, treatable, manageable and rehabilitatable as far as the category in which an animal is put into. What one shelter considers treatable, another shelter may consider untreatable depending on their policies, and resources.
