MUNICIPAL SHELTER SEES JUMP IN ADOPTIONS
Reports Double-Digit Increase in Adoptions For 2007
 Denver’s Animal Care and Control division of the Department of Environmental Health proudly reports that the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter experienced a double-digit increase in animal adoptions in 2007. “Controlling and abating the homeless animal population is an important goal for Denver,” said Nancy Severson, Manager of Denver Environmental Health. “The recent bond passage to build a new municipal animal shelter confirms that increasing adoptions, getting lost animals back to their owners, and improving the care and well being of the homeless and lost animal population is a priority with Denver residents.” In 2007, a total of 1,269 cats and dogs were adopted, a 20 percent increase over 2006. “This increase represents Denver’s love for animals and its emphasis on responsible pet ownership,” said Doug Kelley, Director of Denver Animal Care and Control. Cat adoptions rose 10 percent, from 244 to 269, and dog adoptions increased 28 percent, from 779 to 1,000. The rise in adoptions at the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter in 2007 can be attributed in part to a strong partnership network. “With partner agencies accepting transfers of treatable animals that become adoptable through further treatment, we can make more room at our shelter for those homeless animals that are ready for immediate adoption. This continuous partnering improves an animal’s ability to be adopted into a loving home,” stated Kelley. |
