Understanding regional trends in animal sheltering helps identify broader patterns and challenges across the United States. In Shelter Animals Count’s 2024 Year End Report, we highlighted average adoptions, community intakes, and euthanasia rates across different regions. By examining sheltering data at a regional level, we can gain insights into geographic differences, resource distribution, and opportunities for targeted support. These trends provide a clearer picture of how animal welfare efforts vary across the country and help drive informed decision-making for shelters, rescues, and policymakers.
