Significant numbers and highlights from the Quarter While dog transfers were down by 12% overall compared to Q4 of 2018, it is worth noting that this is primarily due to a decreased need in the specialty populations - for example, parvo transfers were down 55% and other medical case dogs were down 48%. At the same time, medium/large dog space transfers increased by 48% over Q4 2019. Overall for 2019, we had a 93% increase in medium/large dog space transfers, and a 65% increase in neonatal kitten transfers, two populations that AAC had year-long struggles with. In late 2019, APA! was awarded a one-year grant from Maddie’s Fund to work on a number of projects related to the welfare and movement of big dogs in the shelter system. We will be working closely with Maddie’s Fund to assess and improve processes and systems related to care, behavior, marketing, foster, community engagement, and other programs to the benefit of large dogs, and especially behavior dogs, in the shelter. One of the goals includes identifying and addressing areas of opportunity in the APA!-AAC partnership, including alignment of programs and improving documentation. We are very excited about these projects and hope to see big changes in the coming year! 4 of 5 © 2019 Austin Pets Alive!

AAC Live Release Rate AAC Live Outcomes AAC Total Outcomes AAC Live Release Rate AAC Live Release Rate without APA attempts to show what AAC might look like without transfers to APA. While there is no perfect way to calculate this metric since it is impossible to know what would have happened were these animals not pulled by APA, this is one way to illustrate APA’s effect on AAC live outcomes.
