Author's Description:

This report examines animal intake and outcome patterns at Long Beach Animal Care Services. Routine intakes make up most shelter activity, though nearly one-third of animals require additional care due to age, weight, or medical needs. Intake volume increased sharply after 2021, placing greater strain on shelter capacity. Adoption and rescue are the primary outcomes, while smaller outcome categories collectively represent a meaningful share of exits. Most animals move through the system quickly, but a small number experience extended stays (100+ days), creating disproportionate resource demands. Sex distribution is roughly balanced, with a notable share of records listing sex as unknown.
