The national database is intended to be a tool for you and your community at the county level, state level and national level to help understand the trends, opportunities, and challenges you face, and to help create a picture of how those evolve to the regional and national levels.
Shelter Animals Count is comprised of animal welfare professionals like you, many of whom have extensive backgrounds or active relationships with major animal welfare organizations across the country. We have come together to promote an open, fact-based, and respectful national data collection effort.
By providing comprehensive, collaboratively sourced data, we enable a greater understanding of the state of animal welfare and how we can all increase our positive impact for the animals we are privileged to serve.
