Currently, no government institution or animal organization is responsible for tabulating national statistics for the animal protection movement. These are national estimates; the figures may vary from state to state.Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats.Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats).Approximately 2.7 million shelter animals are adopted each year (1.4 million dogs and 1.3 million cats).About 649,000 animals who enter shelters as strays are returned to their owners.
