Reports

In 2024, SAC released national estimates based on organization and species-level medians. While these estimates were thoroughly validated and instrumental in identifying high-level trends, we recognized an opportunity to deepen our analysis. The updated model enables a more nuanced understanding of the data, helping us uncover patterns and insights that can drive significant improvements in animal welfare outcomes.

Reports prior to the 2023 full year report are using sample data from organizations that consistently reported across multiple years. These reports will not provide national totals but will provide trends based on the sample of organizations included. While geographically representative, these reports are skewed to brick-and-mortar organizations.

Annual reports 2020 and prior provide snapshots of total data from organizations reporting in a single year.
