Unless stated otherwise, all data is taken from the PACFA website. PACFA has instituted a much more informative method of reporting their data for dogs and cats, including the separation between adult animals and juveniles, with juveniles being defined as animals that are 120 days old or younger. The first figure is the total, followed by the juveniles only. Animals in care at the beginning of the year are not counted as intake; only newly arrived animals are counted. Animals that are transferred either “within or outside” of area are coming in or out of state.
