How cute is Frito?! Unfortunately Frito is a member of the Wounded Dogs Club. Frito, along with several dogs at APA, is in need of orthopedic surgery to correct a luxated patella (knee cap surgery). Living in a shelter is a factor of this condition because of the the stress of being in run and jumping “warrior style” in their kennels. Can you help Frito or a dog like him before his knee gets worse?

Without this surgery she will not be able to live a healthy life, but the surgery will cost over $2,000 and APA! needs help to fund her care.

Meet Lovegood! She is a very sweet Chocolate Lab mix that came to Austin Pets Alive with a crushing paw injury. After months of attemping to treat the wound, the vets caring for her have decided it is best to perform a partial amputation of her foot in order to stop further infection. Because of the length of time in treatment we would like to do the surgery as soon as possible.
Lovegood would give you a half-paw high five if you can help!

Max and Minnie came to APA! last night and are both Parvo positive. They are very sick and need your help! Without your support, Austin Pets Alive! could not treat cuties like these two.
Can you help Max and Minnie get healthy enough to go to their forever home?

This fiery ball of fur is Pompey. Adorable huh? There is never a dull moment with this little guy. His playful personality is contagious and you may find yourself spending lots of time talking to him in your best baby voice.
Pompey is one of many kittens in the Bottle Baby Program at Austin Pets Alive! It costs a lot of money to keep these kittens healthy and get them ready to go to their forever home.
Do you think you can help keep the Bottle Baby Program going strong by donating the … more
