We are pleased to announce that Nassau County Animal Control's first quarter adoption rates and live release rates have increased substantially since this time last year. So far this fiscal year, we have had 327 adoptions, up from 170 in December of 2012. Live release rates are at a record high of 96.9%, up from 63%. The steady rise in adoptions and live release rates over the past several years are due to the increase in adoption events and transfers of pets to various rescue groups. Other contributing factors include the Barn Cat Program in which feral cats are captured, spayed/neutered, and returned to farms to help with pest control, as well as spay/neuter services provided by the PetSmart Charities Grant which helped to reduce the number of unwanted pets.
