本文分析了台湾公共收容所犬只进出数量的变化趋势。从2000年到2005年，对40个公共收容所的狗进出情况进行了调查。结果表明：（a）收养率和放弃动物数量在研究开始时增加，安乐死率下降，但它们正在出现逆转的迹象：（B）城市收容所的收养率高于农村地区;（c）安乐死仍然是大多数收容所控制狗数量的主要手段;及（d）台湾的潜在领养者在选择领养狗只时，会优先考虑动物的健康及体型。有必要增加和持续的公众教育，以确保在鼓励人们负责任地对待伴侣动物方面取得持续进展。除了教育工作外，为高度可收养的动物建立新的专门收容所可以缓解现有狗舍的空间限制问题，并改善流浪狗的福利。
Trends in the number of dogs entering and departing Taiwan public shelters are analyzed in this article. There were 40 public shelters surveyed from 2000 to 2005 for dog entries and departures. The results indicate that (a) adoption rates and relinquished animal numbers increased, and euthanasia rates decreased at the beginning of the study, but they are showing signs of reversal; (b) shelters in cities have higher adoption rates than those in rural areas; (c) euthanasia remains the main means of controlling dog numbers in most shelters; and (d) potential adopters in Taiwan prioritize animal health and body size when selecting dogs for adoption. There is a need for increased and persistent public education to ensure continued progress is made in encouraging people to treat companion animals responsibly. In addition to educational efforts, creating new, specialized shelters for housing highly adoptable animals can alleviate the space constraint problems in existing kennels and improve the welfare of stray dogs.
