  • 1.  Data for Open Adoptions

    Posted 06-06-2018 05:14 AM

    Hello- does anyone have data they can share from their shelter as it relates to the removal of adoption barriers?  I am specifically looking for landlord approval removal data, and am trying to get access to data outside of the more traditional studies featured on the Adopters Welcome site. While I am looking primarily for landlord numbers, I would love any and all numbers someone has to share as it pertains to removing barriers. Thanks!

    Check out the Open Adoptions section on Million Cat Challenge. Lots of great info and linked studies.

    If you go to our website www.hcflgov.net/pets and go the advocacy section you will see stats and data for several years. In 2014 we started the first open adoption policies in our county and you will see when you compare that to years prior that there was a great increase in adoptions in 2014, 2015, etc as the concept took root.
