BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI – Michigan animal shelters successfully placed most of the cats and dogs in their care in 2019.
The Michigan Pet Fund Alliance (MPFA) announced Thursday a collective 91% live release rate among Michigan animal shelters in 2019, a one percent increase from the previous year, according to their annual Live Release Report.
According to the Michigan Humane Society, the live release rate is determined by dividing total live outcomes (adoptions, outgoing transfers, and return to owner/guardian) by total outcomes (total live outcomes plus euthanasia not including owner/guardian requested euthanasia or died/lost in shelter/care)
