Animal Statistics You Should Know:
- 7 dogs/cats are born daily per person born in the U.S. Of those, only 1 in 5 stay in their original home. The remaining 4 are abandoned, or end up at a shelter (HSUS)
- 56%+ of dogs/puppies entering shelters are killed, based on reports from over 1,055 facilities across America. (National Council on Pet Population Study)
- An estimated 5 million dogs/cats are killed in shelters each year. That’s 1 about every 6 1/2 seconds. (HSUS) Millions more are abandoned to suffer from illness or injury before dying. (Doris Day Animal League)
Of these many abandoned or abused animals, HomeFur-ever currently is able to save and place in adoptive homes approximately 300 animals per year. Our efforts to raise funds and increase community awareness of animal issues are geared toward increasing our ability to help more animals annually.
