Shelter Statistics – Asilomar Accords
The Asilomar Accords outline principles that guide animal welfare organizations to work together to save the lives of all healthy and treatable companion animals. The document aims to cut through the rhetoric of “no-kill” vs. “limited admission” vs. “open admission” shelters and to dispel the murkiness of what defines an adoptable animal. The animal sheltering world hasn’t always been clear or consistent when it comes to reporting results. Without the Asilomar Accords, definitions and reporting methods varied from group to group, making understanding of information difficult, if not impossible, across organizations.
By utilizing a standard language for their statistics, shelters and their supporters are able to easily and clearly track progress both at a specific shelter and across shelters nationwide.
For more information on the Asilomar Accords, please see Asilomar Accords Definitions.
Some of the following links cover all 6 shelters in Santa Clara County for easy reference, please see the separate Town Cats tab if applicable in a particular document to view Town Cats specific data.
