“48% of (shelter) intake in the US were strays, and only 9% were returned to their owners” - those are heartbreaking stats. When a pet becomes lost, the best outcome is to get that animal back home, fast! The finder-to-foster program model works to do just this; keeping animals out of the shelter. And it’s had great success in the U.S.! Some shelters have doubled or even tripled return-to-home rates with the program, plus increased adoptions to boot. Jenifer Reed and Heather Kalman, who are with Human Animal Support Services at Austin Pets Alive! shared strategies with #ICAM2024 to successfully implement this type of program in your shelter.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬. Behind every stray is a story of survival, of resilience, and of a longing for love. Today, we recognize that these animals are not just looking for shelter; they’re searching for a family, for a chance to give and receive the unconditional love that only a pet can offer. Research shows that adopting a pet can significantly reduce stress and increase happiness in humans. But the impact goes both ways. By opening your heart and home, you’re not just saving a life, you’re transforming your own in ways you never imagined.

The Lehigh Valley Humane Society has undergone massive transformations to our leadership, programs, and policies in the last half a decade that have radically re-shaped our organization. We were truly put to the test in 2023, with a staggering 34 percent surge in stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals, amounting to nearly 900 more animals in need compared to the previous year. In spite of this, we finished the year with an 81 percent live release rate for cats and a 91 percent live release rate for dogs, exceeding the no-kill benchmark of 90 percent. This is a 24 percent increase in our live release rate compared to 2021. We are frequently asked questions about being no kill, but rarely do we find that the community understands what the term means. To that end, we would like to offer insight on its definition, its implications, and what it takes to become a no kill shelter. Today, we would like to share a comprehensive look at our 2023 shelter statistics: our animal intakes, outcomes, and live release rate, as well as data on the services provided through our many programs.

Myth: You can't find young animals at shelters. Truth: Shelters often have puppies and kittens, especially during certain times of the year. They also have young adult pets who have plenty of energy and love to give. If you have a question, we'd be happy to answer!
