Hello! Thanks for your question. We compared organizations who had the specific requirement to those who did not have the requirement. For those who had the requirement, we noticed a decrease in pet placement. In the chart above, we reported the percentage change.
For example, in physical shelters, requiring home visits led to a 74% decrease in pet placement, meeting pets living in a household resulted in a 71% decrease in pet placement, meeting other members of the household caused a 66% decrease in pet placement, landlord checks showed a 59% decrease in pet placement, and reference checks resulted in a 57% decrease in pet placement.
Similarly, in rescue organizations, conducting home visits resulted in a 56% decrease in pet placement, meeting pets living in a household showed a 58% decrease in pet placement, meeting other members of the household led to a 45% decrease in pet placement, landlord checks led to a 37% decrease in pet placement, and reference checks showed a 36% decrease in pet placement.

Hello!
I have a question about the data shared on this slide:
Is this data comparing organizations with different practices to one another OR does it reflect specific organizations who have removed barriers and the percent change afterward?
Thanks!

Foster care programs play a vital role in providing temporary homes and care for animals in need. These programs are essential for ensuring the well-being of animals and supporting the work of animal welfare organizations. To gain insights into the utilization and support of foster care programs, Maddie's Fund has conducted a biannual survey in the United States. This presentation focuses on the findings from the survey conducted in 2022, as well as trends observed when comparing the data to the surveys taken in 2018 and 2020.
