Animal Welfare Professionals

There are only so many hours in a week that a shelter can be open. So which ones are best to maximize adoptions?  

New analysis from the Best Friends data team finds that shelters with a higher percentage of weekend and evening hours also have higher adoption rates. This makes sense, since these are the hours when people are more likely to be able to come meet your animals!  

These are percentages of overall hours - not shelters adding on extra hours in total.
