Phase One of the Shelter Population Index Study is in the publication phase, funded by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy and the Animal Assistance Foundation. Please click here for information. More to come soon!
Phase Two of Shelter Population Index Study is underway!
The Shelter Population Index (SPI) will link animal shelter population data to a specific region’s human population. It’s the first index that reflects the combined impact shelters and their communities have in addressing pet homelessness.
The SPI is being developed under the auspices of the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy with partial funding from the Winn Feline Foundation and the George Sydney and Phyllis Redmond Miller Trust. For more info on the SPI, click here.
The data submission period for Phase Two closed May 31st, 2009. To learn more about what data was submitted, click here.
Data on more than 2.5 million animals will be included in the Phase Two analysis. A preliminary report will be available soon, and a final report before the end of 2009. Check back frequently for study results, or direct your questions to Study Coordinator Martha Boden at SPIQuestionnaire@gmail.com.
