Austin Pets Alive!

If you are like me and love pets, nothing is more devestating to me than the fact that an endless amount of animals each year are put to death in animal shelters because they don't have the capacity to support the amount of animals that are without homes.  Austin Pets Alive! is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 1997 that seeks to serve as a shelter for dogs and cats in kill-shelters and find homes for these animals.  They serve primarily in Austin and Central Texas. 

I had a friend that I worked with in Austin who had adopted her dog from Austin Pets Alive! and she was absolutely in love with her pit bull mix.  It's so special to know that there are organizations that are serving as the voices for these helpless animals.  I love people, but I have a strong heart for animals.  I was so lucky to grow in a family that taught me to love animals and how special they can be as companions.  I couldn't live without animals in my life.  They are a comfort for me and I see them as a blessing from God.

Austin Pets Alive! has an Austin-centered focus which makes it unique, and they have a program that encourages spaying and neutering the animals and also has a high-quality adoption program.  Austin Pets Alive!  helps find 'at risk' animals from kill-shelters and rescues them, but they also work with owners who aren't having the best success with their animals and helps them surrender their animals to the program.  They look for healthy and treatable pets that have been passed over by other shelters to be brought into the program.  Austin Pets Alive! serves as an education source for the public and teaches about the need of eliminating companion animals.  Their main goal is to get Austin to be a no-kill city. 
Check out Austin Pets Alive! and adopt an animal or donate to the cause!  You can even volunteer, if you live in Central Texas area.
