Understanding Animal Statistics:
Women's Animal Center is a managed admissions shelter for cats, dogs and other small domestic companion animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and birds within the Lower Bucks County, Central Bucks, and Northeast Philadelphia region. We accept animals surrendered to us from this area regardless of age, breed, behavior or health.
Our goal is to find homes or other placement for all healthy, and medically or behaviorally treatable animals with favorable post-treatment prognoses, and to reserve euthanasia only for those animals suffering terminally or determined to pose a danger to the public. We cannot accomplish this goal without the support and involvement of our community, and we believe that transparency is key to working together towards it.
Transparency begins with the thorough collection and tracking of data. How this data is interpreted and ultimately reported can be done through different standardized methods - each of which also utilize different measures to arrive at an organization's Live Release Rate or Save Rate. For a more comprehensive overview of our own status and progress, Women's Animal Center is reporting our data below through two of the most commonly used formulas in the industry: The Asilomar Live Release Rate and Best Friends Save Rate.
