Let's Make Austin a NO KILL City and Stop the Madness

We have an incredible opportunity to stop the killing cycle at Town Lake Animal Shelter, and make Austin’s shelter safe for lost and homeless animals. Thousands of sweet-natured, loving dogs and cats are killed every year, and it is unnecessary. Please support the No Kill plan by writing letters to the City Council and letting them know that the lives of Austin's homeless pets are worth saving! Austin Pets Alive! (APA) is an incredible organization that has developed a plan that will help. APA is an action-oriented rescue organization with many devoted volunteers, fosters, adopters, and donors. The people making this organization a success saved the lives of 3,500 companion animals in 18 months.

On Thursday, March 11th, at 10am at City Hall, City Council will vote on the Implementation Plan to increase live animal outcomes at Town Lake Animal Center. APA developed a plan proposing that the organization operate a Comprehensive Adoption Program at Town Lake Animal Center, which will result in saving 3,750 lives. That number is currently dying at TLAC on a yearly basis. Please support these changes for our community's homeless pets. I hope to see some of you at the meeting!
