Groundbreaking for the PARC

  • In 2023, we provided medical care and housing to 6506 animals – 3865 dogs, 2582 cats, plus another 59 small animals and livestock.

  • In 2023, an incredible 2873 pet adoptions (1517 dogs, 1315 cats) were processed – which is an overall increase from the past three years and an all-time record-breaking high for cat adoptions in Abilene.

  • We partnered with other organizations around the country and transported 589 of our shelter pets to other rescue organizations.

  • Our lifesaving work extended well beyond the Abilene community through a feline transfer program. We saved 51 cats and kittens at risk of euthanasia from other overcrowded shelters and rescues in and around our region, increasing the lifesaving capacity for these other organizations as well.

  • We provided services for 1211 owned pets in our community in 2023 through our vaccination and microchip clinics.

  • In 2023, 1235 volunteers gave 3022 hours of service to All Kind! 

  • In 2023, we sent 493 dogs/puppies into foster homes.

  • In 2023, 532 cats/kittens went to foster homes.

  • We spayed and neutered 1148 shelter dogs and cats in our care this year before adopting them out.

  • We humanely trapped/neutered/vaccinated an additional 515 feral cats through our Community Cat Program this year.

  • Our Save Rate of 73% for 2023 reflects both the incredible lifesaving work by all our departments as well as the gap that still remains to achieve no-kill status in our community by reducing pet overpopulation and controlling disease in our community.
