** Column H: Include other reasons for custody, i.e. births at the facility, or animals taken into custody for a reason not designated by another category. An explanation is required.

The Richmond SPCA took physical custody of 10 cats and 14 dogs whose owners were facing a short-term housing crisis or who were fleeing situations of domestic abuse and temporarily residing in shelters that did not permit pets. In these cases, the Richmond SPCA provided temporary care to the pets, whose owners intended to return for those pets once they were in a position to do so.

Additionally, there were four kittens born in the shelter.

*** Column L: Names and addresses of Virginia releasing agencies to which animals were transferred.

Gloucester-Matthews Humane Society (6620 Jackson Ln, Gloucester, 23061)
Humane Society of Warren Cnty (1245 Progress Dr, Front Royal 22630)
Lunenburg Cnty Animal Control (1320 Old Mansion St, Lunenburg 23952)

All of the pets the Richmond SPCA transferred out were returned to the same releasing agency from which they had been originally transferred. The reason for this in all cases was that the other shelters mistakenly transferred custody to the Richmond SPCA and alerted our staff to their errors following transfers.

**** Column P: Include other methods of disposition, i.e. escaped, stolen, or otherwise not disposed of in a method in accordance with Virginia code. An explanation is required.
