Euthanasia Rates at Collinsville Shelter

Since P4P took over the adoption program on Sept. 1 at WBAS, the euthanasia rate has gone from 67%-(that's 67 dogs and cats euthanized out of 100 dogs and cats) to 4.6%.  Since Sept. 1, AC euthanized 20 dogs and cats out of 434 animals taken in.  The 20 included owner requests, severely injured animals, and severely aggressive animals. The same time frame a year ago would have seen 291 animals euthanized.  In February, there were no animals euthanized at the Collinsville shelter.  In March, there was one-an owner request.  P4P has taken every adoptable animal Collinsville has taken in and continues to pull from other animal control facilities as well. The staff and volunteers have worked so hard to find new homes, foster homes and transfers for these rescues.  Good job guys!!
