See how a one-time or minimal monthly contribution can make a big difference to Austin’s homeless pets:
- $10 pays for a soft and warm blanket for pets to sleep on during their short stay at a temporary shelter;
- $25 pays for a microchip, which helps return a lost pet to its home;
- $30 buys a session with a behaviorist to solve behavior problems;
- $40 can purchase a bag of quality dog food to keep our foster dogs healthy and well-fed;
- $5 per month (the equivalent of one cup of gourmet coffee a month!) provides one HeartGuard heartworm preventative pill per dog. The alternative: heartworm treatment which may cost up to $600, and frequently leads to pets being surrendered because of financial hardship.
- $10 per month for one year pays for a behavioral boot camp for three dogs that may make the difference between a family keeping a dog or surrendering to a kill shelter for behavioral issues;
- $25 per month pays for one overnight space in a cool, clean and comfortable indoor facility for one pet waiting for a foster family or adoption
