MN,Golden Valley-Animal Humane Society
2024
Unfortunately, Animal Humane Society no longer posts their detailed statistics separated by dogs and cats, as they have done since 2015. They have made wonderful progress over that time, but it is lost because of their new format. We tried to request it but since we are not residents, we could not complete the request form.
