Loading...Austin Becomes a No-Kill City
Have you redeemed butterfly credits to help a shelter puppy or kitten? If so, then you’ve been supporting Austin Pets Alive! by providing a bottle-fed meal for kittens and puppies in desperate need of love.
This great shelter just achieved an amazing goal. After three years of hard work, they helped make Austin a no-kill city.
Sarah Weinstein, from Austin Pets Alive! says, “Three years ago, Austin Pets Alive! set a goal of making Austin a no-kill city and we never once doubted that, of all cities, Austin would be able to do it. Yesterday, TLAC announced that in the month of February their Live Outcome rate was 92%. The No-Kill goal is 90% so not only did Austin reach No-Kill, we passed it!”
By donating meals to animals in need, you made it easier for Austin to support all of their shelter animals. This support is essential to being a no-kill city.
Sarah continues, “Congratulations are owed to everyone. Every volunteer, foster, donor, every other rescue group and anyone who simply supported the No-Kill goal. All of you made this happen!”
This is a great step for the shelters in Austin. Thank you for your donations through Care2′s butterfly rewards program!

That is so wonderful to hear. Great Job!
thtas great! u go autins city!!!! yeah for saving lifes, hope all citys in US follow your example and see that it can be done. Thats there is a solution instead of killing our beloved pets!!! My wish is that the US becomes a NO KILL NATION!
First the Music Capitol and now the No Kill Capitol. Way to go!!! Now, I just have to convince someone that we should move there.
This is indeed, tremendously great news! Why can't all communities recognize the need to go no~kill????
We have a small contingent of folks in Detroit trying to raise money to start the first no~kill shelter in Detroit. Perhaps you saw NBC nightly news do a news feature last month on Detroit Dog Rescue????
Wonderful people doing wonderful work for the animals.
It appears to me that Austin may just be the BEST city in America to live. It says a lot about the people and government of a city that cares enough to not KILL innocent animals.
Now all I have to do is convince my wife to move to Austin.
Thank God for this great news, now is the time to work hard and together for our fury friends, so many more Shelters can earn the NO KILL status.
