Measure Definition & Importance |
This measure shows how well Animal Control Officers are doing in getting stray animals back to their owners as soon as they are caught, rather than bringing these animals into the shelter. It also may help measure effectiveness of microchipping, education regarding licensing, and fencing. This measure also includes the total number of stray dogs captured, thus the total number impounded (those not returned to owner in the field) which was 14% in 2015 (609 animals) . This measure is important because it decreases the number of animals impounded and housed at the shelter, thus saving tax dollars.
