Ideally it would be great to know in the shelter and in foster, but tell us what you can.

One of the focus areas for the Cal4All Animals program is reducing euthanasia in shelters. There are circumstances where euthanasia is the appropriate outcome for an animal (medical conditions, danger to the public, etc.). What about the animals you wish you didn’t have to euthanize? The ones that might not be euthanized if you had the resources and support you need.

How many animals in your shelter's care are likely to be euthanized, that you wish you didn't have to euthanize?

Please provide any context or comments on your euthanasia estimate above.

What kind of animals make up the animals most frequently euthanized? (i.e. Big behavior dogs, neonate kittens, medically fragile b/c no vet, etc.)

Is there a program or policy that you feel might help you better address the needs of these animals?
