Description
Simple SummaryThe primary aim of this study was to examine whether municipal conversion of dog shelters from contracted to direct operation was followed by changes in adoption, euthanasia, return-to-owner, and shelter-throughput outcomes. We analyzed 68,032 dogs from 22 municipalities in Korea during 2016–2025. The primary comparison involved four municipalities that converted around 2021 and nine that remained contracted.
