2010 Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter Statisics
Statistics are presented in Excel spreadsheet format, viewable on screen. You do not have to have EXCEL to view them. Navigation between the months and year-end cumulative is at the bottom, using tabs.
These spreadsheets were created by a volunteer meticulously going through each and every day’s daily reports we requested from the City through an Open Records request. Upon review of these logs, we discovered many instances of cats and dogs disappearing or appearing overnight. Those instances are documented in a tab called, “Details on Errors” for 2008, 2009, and 2010.
Also, the City does not detail the condition, physical or behavioral, of the animals they euthanize/kill on a consistent or documented basis. Therefore, we made assumptions, as is customary within the industry when not otherwise reported by the Shelter, that all animals entering and leaving the facility are healthy. You can read more about what other communities are doing by visiting the Asilomar Accords website.
