Live Release Rates 

Animal Services embraced the goal to save more lives in 2018 & beyond. Since then, we have saved thousands of lives that might otherwise have been considered at risk. As a result of our ongoing mission, we need the citizens to participate in our goals by adopting, fostering, & volunteering. We hope all animal lovers will contribute toward our goal of enhancing Marion County's reputation as a pet-friendly community.
