Save a Life Drive 2010!

Animals pictured, Judd (cat) and Rita (dog), are available for adoption at Austin Pets Alive. To see all our adoptable animals, please visit www.austinpetsalive.org!

I believe that all these sweet darlings should have a second chance. I know from personal experience the reality of that message because I actually adopted one of my fosters and I love him so much now! He's my little baby and I think that once people open up their hearts and see that these animals are not bad, they will reap all the love, affection, and attention that these animals have to offer. Any amount in donations towards the cause will help us to make that bond a reality between humans and these shelter animals.

As the new Austin Pets Alive building is coming together, we are more and more capable of saving that many more pets from euthanasia. The Save a Life Drive gives us the ability to continue saving lives when adoptions and donations tend to decrease in the fall after school starts. As you can imagine, the numbers of animals needing to be saved does not correspondingly decrease this time of year so it is even more critical that we band together to give all those dogs and cats a happy ending.

Each animal costs us about $100 for spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, testing, and parasite treatments. If we raise those funds, it will be that much easier for APA to continue paying the costs for housing, adoption sites, vehicles, and all the other costs that go into saving lives.

My goal is to raise $200 to save 2 lives!
