Don't know what sort of rate they have - the pups go fast, early this morning there were 5 pages of dogs so they are down to 3 pages now. Its a superbly run facility with great volunteers and wonderful staff. We do all that we can to support them. I think last year they homed 3200+ animals (they've got cats, bunnies, reptiles various rodents etc). Some poor pups nearly grow up there ( one was there from 4 mos to about 10 mos old I think) Others don't last a day. They spay/neuter all and screen applicants with a reasonable level of scrutiny. The dogs are all assessed by a color coding system to recommend who they are best suited to.
Like I said great operation - wish i could do more to help them out.
We give them food regularly, attend their events, have helped sponsor some events.
Best of the year is the 'dog walk'. They close down central downtown Raleigh and have an entire park set up for vendors, the dogs (pools, water, etc) a band, contests, general silliness and there is a 3k walk through the streets - probably one of the coolest events I've ever been to.
