Shelter Animals Count (SAC) 2022 Q3 report

Understanding nationwide trends and taking advantage of statistical forecasts can help you prepare to better handle animals in your community. Shelter Animals Count (SAC) released the Q3 report from 2022, with data from the Intake and Outcome Database and the Community Services Database. SAC says “There are 7.3% more animals entering shelters than leaving so far this year, up from 6% in the Q2 report (Jan-Jun). While this is forecasted to improve slightly by the end of the year at 5%, this is still the largest gap in the past 4 years.”

A message from our friends at PEDIGREE®

If You Like Helping Dogs Find Homes, You’ll Love Our Loyalty Program

Nearly 3.1 million dogs end up in shelters every year. So we created the PEDIGREE® One True Loyalty Program. How it works is simple: if a customer spends $25 on Pedigree food or treats, we’ll pay for their dog’s adoption. They get a dog and all their loyalty, the dog gets a much needed home, and you’re able to place another dog in need. It’s another small step in Pedigree’s long standing effort to help end dog homelessness.

Source
*Purchase $25+ of PEDIGREE® products, adoption fees up to $200, 50 U.S. and DC only, valid 5/1/22 to 12/31/22 for Dollar General customers or 7/1/22 to 10/31/22 for customers of other retailers.

Senior Dogs Require Special Care

As dogs transition into their golden years, their care needs will begin to change. They’ll likely start to experience common senior health issues like joint pain, slower metabolism, and changes in appetite. Whistle smart devices translate millions of data points about a dog’s daily behavior into in-depth health and activity insights. See how Cinnamon’s mom, Leona, started using Whistle to better understand how she’s doing—and how to help her stay as healthy and happy as possible.

Uvalde, TX – Support Needed

We know so many of you are at capacity already, but in this difficult time we are sharing a plea we received in our Adopt-a-Pet inbox from The Humane Society of Uvalde, Texas:

“Without much explanation, I think you may understand why our community is having difficulty with our ability to focus on our pets, at the moment. Right now, our community is broken. We were already at capacity & the dogs just keep coming into animal control. HSU rescues as many as possible and has a program, Flights To Furever, which transports pets to Buffalo, NY area rescues.

In addition, HSU partners with other rescues. Our partner rescues accept pets from our city animal control directly into their programs. We could really use some more rescue partners now.

Rescues can go to Friends of Uvalde Animal Control Page (on Facebook), if they would like to become a rescue partner. Rescues can comment on a certain pet, message the page or email flightstofurever@yahoo.com to get more information. Thank you for your consideration.”

Advantage® II flea control for cats works all month long to break the flea life cycle so you can protect the cats in your care and prevent an infestation. Grants will be awarded to shelters and rescues caring for cats while they are waiting to be adopted.

Thank you to Advantage® II, for their part in making these grants possible!

Kitten Season Resources

Adorable baby kitten showers aside, kitten season can be overwhelming and heartbreaking for those of us in the shelter and rescue world. To support you and your community, here are some new and old favorite resources: First, our free and easy-to-understand “Baby Kittens – from Found to Adopted” five-page PDF you can share with any kitten finders. Next, for shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, our friends at Maddie’s Fund present a webcast on Austin Pets Alive!’s groundbreaking kitten program. In part 1, learn how to start and build a bottle baby nursery. In part 2, learn how to create a foster program for neonates. Finally, they also offer “Caring for Orphaned Kittens” a self-paced CE course, “useful to both seasoned foster parents and those just getting started saving lives.” We hope these resources help all of you working the front lines of kitten season!
