Calling all volunteers! We had an amazing turnout this past weekend to help with renovations at Town Lake Animal Center, but there’s still plenty of work to be done. Check out how you can help!
Who we need: We have projects for anyone with any skill set – the more hands, the better.
Note: While it’s not our only need, we are in great need of experienced labor workers – those with construction, moving, or renovation experience. But, don’t let the more labor intensive projects prevent anyone from helping out, as we have projects for everyone!
Major Projects:
Dog kennels: Sweeping, cleaning, and … more

Congratulations to May’s volunteer of the month – Gloria Hudson, Bottle Baby Rescue Manager! Thanks to Gloria’s dedication, more than 700 kittens and moms have been saved so far this year.
Here are a few of the testimonials to her hard work.
Gloria spent the last year as a bottle baby feeder in the neonatal nursery, and a kitten foster, but this year she has really stepped up. Gloria is now the rescue coordinator for bottle baby kittens. She gets the calls from shelters that there are kittens with a life & death deadline. She coordinates with the Nursery Manager to assess … more

This month, we are joining Best Friends Animal Society, shelters and rescue groups nationwide for “Back in Black,” a month-long effort to boost adoptions of black-colored cats and dogs and showcase their uniqueness that tends to get overlooked at first glance. For the entire month of May, all black dogs and cats over the age of three months will have reduced adoption fees of $50.
Our first “Back in Black” featured dog is Nellie! Nellie, … more

As you know we are moving to Town Lake Animal Center! We have worked very hard to get this opportunity and we have a lot more work to do to actually make it a reality. It will not be an easy feat to move from our Manchaca location to TLAC. Factors that make it harder are that we can’t spend life-saving funds to hire movers and contractors and we have only 3 weeks left before we have to be completely out of Manchaca.
So for the next three weeks, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The biggest project right now is … more

Organize your group to help save lives!
Our move out of HQ into TLAC not only means we need our core group of volunteers, but we need all hands on deck. There is plenty of work to be done like painting (indoor rooms and outdoor kennels), cleaning, moving furniture, power washing, and organizing.
If you’re part of a corporate, school, church, or other type of group, please consider contacting email hidden; JavaScript is required to organize a service day at APA! Many businesses offer paid volunteer time off, and there are so many wonderful organizations in town that do community service.
While we gladly welcome … more

Rhondo, as snug as a bug in a rug after his parvo treatment and many kisses from the volunteers. Rhondo says “I’ll be better in no time, guys! I love to cuddle in your lap, and I’ll be ready to run free when I get my energy back and romp around with my puppy friends!
At Austin Pets Alive, we believe that every animal should be given a second chance and parvo puppies are no exception. We take all the parvo positive dogs … more
