Reno: Report on Shelter Reforms FixAustin.org has just released a detailed and stunning report on the results of competing shelter-reform efforts in Austin, Texas, and Reno, Nevada. Austin's effort was led by the ASPCA and involved two shelters: the Town Lake Animal Center and the Austin Humane Society. Reno's competing effort followed the no-kill sheltering model of the No Kill Advocacy Center... At the one-year mark of the two cities' efforts, the results are remarkable: In Austin, one year of implementation of the ASPCA's "Mission: Orange" project did not improve the outlook for Austin's homeless animals: Austin's shelters killed over 1,300 more animals in 2007 than in 2006, and adopted out 332 fewer animals in 2007 than in 2006. In Reno, one year of implementation of the No Kill Advocacy Center's model dramatically improved the outlook for Reno's homeless animals: Reno's shelters killed more than 2,700 fewer animals in 2007 than in 2006, and adopted out over 2,800 more animals in 2007 than in 2006.
