LIVE RELEASE RATE

of all outcomes this month

Numbers sourced from Shelterluv monthly reports. Outcome total (575) may exceed intake total (514) because outcomes include animals received in prior months. Live Release Rate = Live Outcomes ÷ (Live Outcomes + Euthanasia + Died in Care). Euthanasia reflects medical necessity and irremediable suffering at an open-intake shelter.
