“Over the years things got significantly better. “When I started at the shelter 11 years ago, we were over capacity on both dogs and cats,” she said. Johanson has been with the shelter for over a decade, and has seen the ups and downs of unchecked animal population, even in an urban area like Salt Lake City. Salt Lake County Animal Services, a municipal no-kill shelter located in Salt Lake City, took in more than six thousand animals in 2022, Johanson told the Deseret News. Per Best Friends, “no-kill” is defined as having “a 90% save rate for animals entering a shelter.” The animal welfare group also defines the term as “saving every dog or cat in a shelter who can be saved.” On top of that, the designation of “no-kill” doesn’t necessarily mean that no animals are killed after ending up in a shelter. According to Best Friends’ data, 42 out of 59 shelters in Utah are designated as “no-kill,” and “in 2021, nearly 886 dogs and cats were killed in animal shelters across Utah.” Utah doesn’t face as steep of an uphill battle as some states do regarding animal welfare, but the Beehive State certainly faces challenges. “Every single day I look at all our wonderful animals at Salt Lake County Animal Services and wonder how they ended up here and why their owners didn’t come back for them,” she said. “This is why it is so important for our community to help give these wonderful pets a second chance at finding a loving, forever home.” “Adopting a pet is literally helping to save the life of a shelter animal,” Jami Johanson, development coordinator at Salt Lake County Animal Services, said in an interview with the Deseret News. In the U.S., “of the 4.6 million cats and dogs entering shelters in 2021, 3.8 million were saved,” according to Utah-founded Best Friends Animal Society. Right now, the United States is facing a crisis of chock-full animal shelters, and Utah is no exception.
