LHS is proud to have a save rate of 97% for animals in our care. We calculate our save rate using outcomes data through the equation below:
Total positive outcomes*
Total outcomes**
*Total positive outcomes = adopted + transferred + returned to field
**Total outcomes = (adopted + transferred + returned to field) + humanely euthanized
We are fully transparent and participate in the Shelter Animals Count national database where we update our animal shelter numbers every month. Using the basic Shelter Animals Count framework, our most recent animal numbers can also be viewed below by fiscal year.
To advocate the compassionate treatment of animals; educate the community on responsible, lifelong pet ownership; and promote adoption as the best option when searching for a new pet.
