Recognition

*Data is based on a yearly grant cycle of Jan-Nov 2024. Previous year’s data was originally used in calculation. After mid-year review, it was determined cost correction was needed, therefore lowering our spay/neuter estimates. Cost corrections were due to increased veterinary pricing and increased partners in areas with fewer veterinary options.
