File:Austin Pets Alive A call to action

Description
This short documentary was created for the annual Austin Pets Alive! fundraising events and is featured on the website.

When Austin Pets Alive! started rescuing animals in 2008, Austin was somewhat rich in resources that prevented births. For almost ten years, more and more resources were put into spay and neuter programs, but the live outcome rate at our city shelter was stuck around 50%.

Austin Pets Alive! saw that gap and created programs to save the key demographics of pets that hadn’t been making it out of our municipal shelter alive. These key groups of animals included puppies with parvovirus, unweaned kittens, cats with ringworm, dogs and cats in need of additional behavioral support and/or additional medical attention. Austin Pets Alive! has saved more than 25,000 dogs and cats since 2008.
