The society adopted 3,079 pets to new homes, and 724 pets were reclaimed by their guardians. 310 shelter animals were euthanized due to severe injury, illness, or behavior issues. The training and behavior department served clients by providing training classes, private consultations, and puppy drop-off training.

Volunteers contributed 49,922 hours of caring for homeless animals, the equivalent of twenty-four full-time employees.
