Live Release Percentage
Overview
The live release rate is a very telling metric in measuring a shelter’s progress towards improving dispositions for the animals in its care.
Literally translated, a live release is any animal that leaves your the rescue alive.
Options for live release include:
- Adoptions
- Return to Owner [RTO]
- Transfers
- Sanctuary Care
Simply calculated, the Live Release Percentage [LRP] is the sum of all the live outcomes for a period of time divided by
the total intake numbers for that same period of time.
