The city of Rosenberg is proud to announce that the Rosenberg Animal Control and Shelter (RACS) maintained its no-kill status for the 2024 year, according to Best Friends Animal Society’s annual data report. This means RACS saved 90% or more of the dogs and cats that entered the shelter last year.
A 90 percent save rate is the nationally recognized benchmark to be considered “no-kill,” factoring that approximately 10 percent of pets who enter shelters have medical or behavioral circumstances that warrant humane euthanasia.
"Achieving no-kill status for all of 2024 is a tremendous milestone for our team, our volunteers, and most importantly, the animals in our care. It reflects our unwavering commitment to saving lives and building a compassionate community where every animal is given a chance. We’re incredibly proud of this accomplishment and grateful for the continued support from our residents and rescue partners,” said Omar Polio, Animal Control and Shelter Director.
