Shelter Statistics

To put things in perspective, Pinal County Animal Care and Control (PCACC) had a live release of 23.4% in 2010. In 2021, the shelter’s live release rate increased to 97.4%. The shelter accomplished its biggest feat in regards to euthanasia by focusing on lifesaving. In the same year, PCACC started shifting focus on providing quality care and enrichment to the shelter’s furry guests while maintaining a lifesaving status and helping their community of pet owners.
