Peninsula Humane Society track record for the 8th consecutive
year
Despite a 7 percent increase in animals surrendered to the Peninsula
Humane Society in 2010, officials said the shelter was able to place
100 percent of adoptable animals into new homes for the eighth
consecutive year. In 2009, an estimated 2,955 pets were surrendered
by owners who were no longer willing or able to care for their
animals. In 2010, that number grew to 3,162. There were 3,749
animals adopted from the center in 2010, of which 3,077 were dogs
and cats. The others were small domestic animals. "The numbers
really don't tell the story. The story is in the relationships we
form with them" said shelter President Ken White. "They are living
sentient beings who add so much to a family, and really ask for very
little back." Full article San Mateo Times 2/4/2011.
