2024 Florida Shelter-Level Data: All known animal shelters in the state submitted animal intake and outcome data for 2024 » 2024 Florida Shelter-Level Data » Shelter Medicine Program » College of Veterinary Medicine

Map of Florida with 153 animal shelter locations identified with markers — 153 animal shelters were known to be operating in 64 of 67 counties in 2024. Three counties did not have shelters (Holmes, Liberty, and Lafayette). Individual shelter intake and outcome data can be found in the table below.

Intake/Outcome Data Self-Reported by Shelters

Data for the Florida Shelter Animal Census is self-reported by individual animal shelters and then compiled for statewide statistical summaries by the Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida.

The census defines a “shelter” as a continuously occupied “brick-and-mortar” physical facility that houses cats and dogs temporarily for the purposes of animal control and protection. Common examples include shelters operated by municipalities, humane societies, and SPCAs, but can also include private businesses.

The census collects DOG and CAT data only; some shelters also care for other species not reported here.
TOTAL means both DOG + CAT
PER 1,000 RESIDENTS means the number of animals in the category (Intake, Non-Live Outcome, or Live Outcome) per 1,000 residents in the county
Shelters that have data listed as NOT APPLICABLE (NA) do not record those specific data points due to policy or intake restrictions (cat only facilities, etc.)

Click on Florida Shelter Animal Census definitions for term definitions, rate calculations, and other metrics collected in the census. A subset of the results is shared in the table below.

About the Florida Shelter Animal Census Data Table

The default display of the table is 10 rows of data at a time to keep both the header row and horizontal scroll bar visible. Click the Next or Previous buttons to jump to the next 10 rows. Users can also select to display up to 100 rows of data at a time, filter by column headers, search by key words, or sort alphabetically or numerically. Headers will not remain visible if more than 10 rows are selected for display. Scroll to the bottom of the table to find the horizontal scroll bar to visualize columns on the left or right of the displayed area. Blank rows represent lack of shelters in Holmes, Lafayette, and Liberty counties.

Lifesaving Rates & Percentages

The lifesaving percentage on its own doesn’t tell the complete story, so it’s best practice to include your key data along with your Lifesaving Percentage, and make sure you explain what calculation you use for your chosen Lifesaving Percentage.

Without consistent, accurate data, and transparency in the calculations used, our ability to clarify and quantify the problem and its causes and determine the most effective solutions is severely compromised.

Live Outcome Rate

Total Live Outcomes / Total Live Intake

Known also as the ASPCA Live Release Rate. This formula has been used as an industry standard since the late 90s. Percentage of animals entering your organization within a certain time period leaving your organization’s custody through a designated Live Outcome. By using Live Outcomes and Intake, the rate measures activity related to the impact of animals admitted and the number of Live Outcomes. The number of animals admitted to an agency will impact the resources available for live-saving programs (and thus Live Outcomes).

(LRR)

Live Release Rate

Percentage of animals leaving your organization’s custody within a certain time period through a designated Live Outcome. Organizations that use Live Release Rate (LRR) typically include owner-intended euthanasia (or owner-requested euthanasia) in their total outcomes to account for all animals with non-live outcomes that have entered the shelter. (That is not portrayed in the image above.)

Best Friends’ Save Rate (Gross)

In 2020, Best Friends revised their formula to include Owner-Intended Euthanasia numbers in an agency’s “Save Rate,” whereas previously they had not. Click the link below to view their explanation.

Typically used when looking at shelter level data.

When viewing community or regional data, see the link below for the Best Friends’ Save Rate (Net).
