We at DugDug are very strong proponents of thoughtful, data-driven, animal control programs. And recent papers such as “Evaluation of animal control measures on pet demographics in Santa Clara County, California, 1993-2006,” co-authored by UC Davis and National Pet Alliance, caught our attention for the real insights and actionable steps that it provided in reducing shelter intakes. However, little were we prepared for the incredible story of one of the co-authors of the paper: Karen Johnson.
