RSPCA Facts & Figures in SA and National
DOGS/Cats: The RSPCA received in 4017 dogs in 2012 going by their own public records.
Whether or not we can rely on these facts and figures is open to debate, but this is what they released to the public and their members for 2012.
Kill rates should be based on animals left in the RSPCA.s care
Dogs adopted out 740 Cats adopted 783
Dogs put down 870 Cats put down 1381
Dogs transferred 323 Cats transferred 105
Dogs left at year’s end 26 Cats years end 119
These are the facts for animals left in the RSPCA’s care, yet they are telling parliament and the media their success rate is 85%, so if the council drop of a dog and it is then picked up by the owner they wish to have these animals considered as adopted out, and that is not the case.
It is believed that councils pay a fee to drop of a dog and owners are charged upon pick up, those facts like many are hard to certify, $68 council fee to drop of and $150 plus additional charges to pick your animal up, confirmation has been sought.
The RSPCA have not disclosed what a transfer is, it has been said this figure may include research, I hope and pray it is to non kill shelters, but the RSPCA have made a statment that does not occur.

Dogs adopted 17,975 Cats adopted 20,489

The RSPCA can take animals from other shelters based on behaviour, even no kill shelters, yet if they take it for a behavioural issue, in the most they put them down.
Note: Behavioural issues numbers for cats?
