Mission

Our story hasn't necessarily been for the faint of heart. Austin Pets Alive! began when vulnerable, homeless pets truly needed us the most. When we were first imagined, Austin had a kill-rate of 87% - today, we have a save-rate of 97%. Through hardships, we have found inspiration; and through this inspiration, we have saved lives.
