It’s Been a Banner Year for Homeless Cats and Dogs in San Francisco
The 20-plus year collaboration between SF ACC and the SF SPCA helps ensure that animals
are not left behind
The result: San Francisco leads the nation in preventing and addressing animal homelessness
The three main ways to measure a city’s safety intake per capita, euthanasia per capita, and live
release rate all improved in 2015
Intake for both cats and dogs is down from the prior year
Together, our efforts to help animals through medical, behavioral, and foster programs have
reduced euthanasia by nearly 40% since 2009
