The numbers reported to the state may vary from those reported to Maddie’’s Fund since one reports on a fiscal year cycle and the other reports by calendar year. Since they adhere to the Asilomar Accords in reporting statistics, there is a great deal of detail available. Owner requested euthanasias (all of which were deemed unhealthy/untreatable) should be subtracted from both the impound figure and the total euthanized, unhealthy & untreatable. All categories are broken down as healthy, treatable-rehabilitatable, treatable-manageable or unhealthy & untreatable. Other details as follows.
