Austin Pets Alive! is the only large animal welfare organization where every pet is one who would have faced euthanasia in their previous shelter. Support lifesaving by signing the petition and donating directly to APA! (payments to Change.org go to promote the petition, not to APA!'s work). 

APA! is a beacon of hope for pets everywhere, who find themselves facing death through no fault of their own, but because they are collateral damage in a world that leaves them behind. At Austin Pets Alive!, situated in the heart of downtown Austin, more than 10,000 pets annually are provided a safe haven and a second chance at life. Today, Austin Pets Alive! is at imminent risk of losing our long time home in downtown Austin. 

Please sign if you believe Austin Pets Alive!, as the only organization of its kind, in one of America’s most famous cities, should stay in Austin. Its current location in the heart of downtown represents a better world for animals everywhere and shows the world that no cat, dog, puppy, or kitten should ever die in a shelter when lifesaving solutions can be found. 

By signing, you are asking the Austin City Council to recognize the historic and internationally significant role of Austin Pets Alive! and to ensure APA! can remain a safe haven in the City of Austin where deserving pets are guaranteed protection and life.

Austin Pets Alive! exists because of people like YOU donating to save lives! Consider donating to support our critical, lifesaving work. Thank you for your support!
