Austin Pets Alive!: Protecting the Lives of Pets all over Austin

Addison

Just a year ago, Austin decided to add its name to the list of America’s “no kill” cities by implementing the No Kill Plan, which set out a list of programs to eliminate the number of pets euthanized at animal shelters in Austin. While the city passed a “no kill” moratorium, it was a vanity move of sorts, since additional funding to support the needs of homeless animals didn’t accompany the legislation. This put the burden on shelters themselves, which were already overwhelmed by the influx of parentless pets.
