Shelter Animals Count Data:
Pawster participates in Shelter Animals Count (SAC), a centralized, standardized national database for animal shelter statistics. However, because Pawster is not a shelter and does not “intake” and “outcome” pets to/from a physical shelter, some of the data requires context:
“Outcomes” – Pawster’s outcome categories are different from the standardized Shelter Animals Count outcomes. This is why we rely on the “Reunite Rate” above as a clearer measure of our impact. Pawster pets are either reunited with their owner (“Other Live Outcome”) or rehomed (“Adoption”).
Reliability of SAC Statistics – Pawster transitioned to a new software in June 2021. For this reason, some of the categories of intake and outcome may be incorrect. Statistics for 2022 are standardized and reliable.
Intake vs. Pets Fostered – Pawster counts total animals fostered in a calendar year rather than intakes as a clearer measure of impact. The average foster stay for Crisis Foster Care is around 2 months, which means we start the calendar year with pets in foster care. For example, Gross Intakes for 2022 was 76 pets. But we provided foster care for 82 pets, including 6 pets who were in care already.
