Tip of the Week: Mid-Year Data Report
November 2, 2026, The Association
The latest stats from Shelter Animals Count show encouraging progress and familiar challenges
If you haven’t had a chance to dig into Shelter Animals Count’s Mid-Year Data Summary, find some time this week to peruse the high-level summary and/or take a deep dive with the Mid-Year Data Explorer, which allows you to filter by species, region and organizational type.
Props to SAC for creating multiple entrypoints to access the data—from at-a-glance summaries to visuals like the one shown here.

How do your stats compare to the national picture?
