Shelter Management Data

Michelson Found Animals Foundation is one of eight leading national animal welfare organizations and foundations who convened in 2018 to create a position statement on the importance of transparency and sharing key data, in order to provide a better understanding of accountability expectations for organizations that take stray and homeless pets into their care. This reflects a shared commitment to lead by example and work together to save and enhance the lives of animals across the country.

Position Statement:
“As national leaders and funders of animal welfare in North America, we believe that organizations should be transparent about the number of animals that come under their care, and the outcome for all of those animals. That is why we support the public availability of key data (the basic data matrix as defined by Shelter Animals Count), from all animal welfare agencies and nonprofits, both publicly and privately funded and whether or not they provide government animal control services or humane law enforcement.”
