Austin Pets Alive!
Austin, TX
Austin Pets Alive! began when vulnerable, homeless pets truly needed us the most. When we were first imagined, Austin had a kill-rate of 87% – today, we have a save-rate of 97%. Since our founding in 1997, APA! has saved over 80,000 lives.
APA!'s mission is to promote and provide the resources, education, and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. Our vision is that every shelter animal, in Central Texas and beyond, gets a true chance at the life they deserve.
Austin Pets Alive! is not your average animal shelter. We pioneer comprehensive, innovative programs designed to save the animals most at risk for euthanasia. Our programs include: Barn Cat Program, Dog Behavior Program, Feline Leukemia Adoption Center, Maddie's® Cat Adoption Center for Ringworm, Neonatal Kitten Nursery, Parvo Puppy ICU, and Medical Triage and Wellness Clinic.
