AAC Data April Monthly Data 2014 to 2022 Prepared by Kristen Hassen DATA SOURCES: This data was acquired directly from the AAC Boards and Commissions website from the AAC monthly reports for the meetings held in May 2016, May 2018, May 2020, and May 2022, all of which contained the information from the previous month (April). CHANGE IN REPORTING: It appears that in 2019, AAC stopped providing the more comprehensive, three-year comparison data report. The last comprehensive data report I could find for April was 2019. At some point in 2019, AAC also began reducing the qualitative “animal services report,” which provided metrics related to foster care, volunteerism, the pet resource center, communications and marketing, adoption events, and other information. Because of inconsistencies in reporting, I was unable to obtain enough consistent data to report on the following metrics for the eight-year period: ● Number of animals sent to foster care ● Number of animals in foster care ● Number of volunteers ● Number of foster caregivers ● Number of pets deferred by the pet support center ● Number of pets and people assisted by the pet support center COMPARATIVE METRICS NEEDED: Because the data I have found does not support any claim that AAC is facing an exceptional intake or capacity crisis, the following comparative metrics are necessary to gain an understanding of the current situation at AAC: ● Beginning and end of month kennel and foster census over a multi-year period. ● Length of stay information over a multi-year period broken up by species ● Data points from the Advisory Commission space working group.
