These figures are based on self-reported numbers from each animal shelter in the state to the Virginia Department of Animal and Consumer Services. The VDACS report does not include a specific figure for animals euthanized for owners. The report also says that 224 animals were reclaimed by owners and 348 animals were adopted at the Danville shelter in 2025. In 2025, the Danville shelter took in 3,184 animals, while the public animal shelter in Fairfax County, with a population of 1.15 million, took in 5,472. The Danville shelter has maintained consistent support from the city government throughout the criticism, and Dean said it has a reliable pool of donors and volunteers.
