In 2009, shelter statistics were widely quoted as 6 to 8 million dogs and cats entering the shelter system, with 3 - 4 million being euthanized and the same number being adopted. (thedogplace.org)

Our goal is to change the grim reality that an estimated 70 % of all cats who enter shelters nationwide don't leave the shelter alive. (alleycat.org)
