Working at APA! doesn't necessarily mean snuggling puppies all day, although the daily dog kisses are a definite perk! APA! challenges me to think creatively to find solutions which help dogs find and stay in their forever homes. I love being able to help the humans understand their pup's behaviors so they learn to work together and can enjoy a lifetime of friendship.”
I sought out APA! after years of feeling unfulfilled in previous career paths. The opportunity to rescue animals from across the state of Texas has filled me with a sense of connection to others and a deep appreciation for animal advocates everywhere.
I started working as a temporary hire during Hurricane Harvey! My favorite thing about my job is when I witness previously critical patients, ones that I helped save, turn the corner - start to show their personality, wag their tails, make biscuits!

Open PositionsWhen Austin Pets Alive! started rescuing animals in 2008, the City of Austin was focusing their resources on spay and neuter programs – causing the live outcome rate at our city shelter to hold steady at around 50% for nearly ten years. Austin Pets Alive! set out on a mission to change that.
We maintain comprehensive, innovative programs designed to save the animals most at risk for euthanasia.
