Table A1.
Subjects’ demographic information, including names, groups, ages, modes of intake, length of stay (LOS), and breed (as listed by their associated shelter or rescue group). Several of the dogs in the study were returned; length of stay was calculated based on initial intake date and final adoption date. All dogs were spayed and neutered prior to participating in the study. Length of stay data were not available for some dogs that participated, and in a few cases (noted below), dogs were still available for adoption at the completion of the study. All breed determinations were based on visual inspection by the participating shelters and rescue groups, and it is important to note that reliability for this method is low [29].
