These Statistics reflect the life-saving trends occurring statewide. No More Homeless Pets in Utah could not effectively gather and track these statistics without the efforts and assistance of many Utah municipal shelters and adoption agencies.
* NOTE: The E-Metric is a measure of euthanasia adjusted for human population. It represents the number of dogs and cats euthanized in Utah shelters annually per 1000 human population. In 1999 the E-Metric stood at 21.7.
