Midwest Pet Refuge Statistics
Midwest Pet Refuge believes that every organization should be judged by how well it achieves its mission. Transparency is key, therefore we openly publish our statistics.
Midwest Pet Refuge will never euthanize healthy, adoptable pets, and will do our best to help those who are sick and injured. We sometimes have to make heartbreaking decisions for animals with serious injuries or illnesses. This is only as a last resort, and always at the recommendation of our veterinarian. The only time we make the difficult decision to euthanize a healthy animal is after we have carefully screened the temperament and it is determined that the animal could pose a serious threat to the community. Thankfully, we've only had to do this a couple time in the 10 years we've been in operation.
