• SAC Advisory Committee Application

    Shelter Animals Count (SAC), a program of the ASPCA, is looking to add six more members of our Advisory Committee to strengthen the future of sheltering data. After joining the ASPCA in December 2025, SAC continues its work as the field's most trusted source for animal sheltering data across the United States and Canada. The SAC Advisory Committee was developed to ensure we stay connected to the organizations and communities the data is meant to serve, and we want the committee to reflect the full breadth of the field: different regions, different organization sizes and types, different uses of the data. Committee members serve a two-year term and meet virtually four times per year.
