APA and most Vet offices will scan the puppy for free.

Can I get help for my injured cat?

Renee Matte | Nov 1, 2018
Adelaide Boak | Nov 1, 2018

APA is a shelter, not a vet -- so they would not be able treat your injured pet (save for some services-- I think Parvo in dogs is one where APA can help, but don't quote me on that). An injured cat can be surrendered for medical care, but no information would be releasable about the animal. It costs a lot of money to care for and treat the volume of animals that come through, and the shelter has to protect itsself from being used as free veterinary care. If an animal is surrendered for lack of ability to provide medical care, there's no guarantee you can get your animal back.

Looking for a small companion dog as we are both on disability

Chuck Reed | Nov 1, 2017

APA! Has great dog companions in all shapes and sizes - head over to the shelter and find a new friend!

Do you have any Chihuahuas that need fostering? I have 2 seniors and they prefer their own kind. I would be happy to help. We have an extra bed and bowl.

If youre interested fostering still you can fill out an application on the austin pets alive! Website, and a foster mentor will contact you, usually within 24 hour

Did you call the people who adopted Papya and what did they say? I recently donated $100. If you wish to call, email me back. I just adopted a dog so can't take Papya. But I am really sad about his plite.

Robin Curle | Dec 5, 2021
F L Hill | Dec 5, 2021

I did not call anyone but the shelter will give the adopter your contact information if you ask them to so that the adopter can call you. Hope this helps.

Adriana Powers | Oct 31, 2021

Tim Brown | Oct 31, 2020
MJ de los Santos | Oct 31, 2020

I'm not sure. You'll need to either go by or email them. No phone number to call & ask. Take care & I know they'll help you or lead you to the right place.

I have found an abandoned Australian Cattle. She is around 8 years old and found out that her owners had abandoned her since they did not respond back (from her chip). I didn’t want to take her to the shelter, but decided to keep her. I work a lot

Lisa Pham | Oct 31, 2020
Shawn Ebert | Oct 31, 2020

Not sure what your question is. Herding dogs need the ability to have a job regularly otherwise they get extremely bored and then destructive. Make sure you are prepared to give her that time and job in your life.

I found a black lab puppy mix wandering my neighborhood. Can Austin Pets Alive pick her up, my dog doesn't really seem to like her.

Ricky Torres | Oct 31, 2020
Andrea Jenkins | Oct 31, 2020

You'd have to go surrender her to the Austin Animal Shelter. APA can't take surrenders directly. They have to come from other shelters I believe.

They have dogs & puppies and you'll only pay for the spay/neutering of the animal. Stop by and see what they have, the dogs love having ppl come by and give them attention.

Chrissy OD | Nov 1, 2019

Go to the APA website and fill out an application. You'll have to do a meet and greet with the animal and then sit down with one of their team members to go over everything. The fee depends varies for each animal. If you're interested in adopting a foster dog you have a similar process but you'll meet with the foster parents instead

Henry Cavazos | Nov 1, 2018
Annette Swint Gamble | Nov 1, 2018

There are Rottweiler Rescue groups on line that you might try first. If not, Austin Pets Alive is a wonderful group to help him find his new forever home. I only foster cats for them, but they have wonderful dog people as well.

I have a petsafe vibration bark collar that was not a good fit for my dog. Would APA find this useful? Also any need for towels, blankets, furniture while I am at it? We have a hose, and a few towels and blankets I could bring too.

Corrie Howell | Nov 1, 2018
Tina Brennecke | Nov 1, 2018

They can certainly use any clean items and are always happy to accept donations.

I know APA doesn't take in stray animals, but I adopted a cat from their months ago. We were told that she would get used to my other cat if given time. She still does not want anything to do with my cat and tries to attack him. Can we return her?

Bonny Gray | Nov 1, 2018
Anthony Davis | Nov 1, 2018

Mind your own business. I highly doubt that the dog needs to be "rescued" from its owner and put in a cage just because the owner is homeless.

Do you take in stray dogs?

Sunao Watkins | Nov 1, 2018
Anita Lunos | Nov 1, 2018

Austin Pets Alive does not take in stray animals. They intake animals from other shelters that are slated to be euthanized... Strays should be taken to Austin Animal Center :)

Would I be able to bring my dog (with her kennel, bowl, etc)? i can no longer take care of her and am running out of options.

Michelle Aguoru | Nov 1, 2018
Lace Callaway | Nov 1, 2018

Melissa is correct. Apa! is closed intake (their current mission is to keep unadopted and sick animals at the city shelter from being put to sleep), but they do have a PASS program you should ask about if your situation is expected to be temporary.

Felix Villegas | Nov 1, 2018

If the dog is at the shelter you can stop by and a matchmaker can help you see the dog you are interested in. If the dog is in foster you will have to make arrangements to meet them.

I have a senior cat who is frequently choosing to not use the litter box and my family is unable to put up with it anymore, could we give her to your care at this location for someone to possibly take the reigns on her care and housing?

SPHINX Of The Pharaoh | Nov 1, 2018
Adelaide Boak | Nov 1, 2018

You could surrender your cat to AAC if you are unable to care for the animal. I suggest looking into increasing the number of boxes or identifying a behavioral reason for your cat's inappropriate behavior. If your cat is having trouble getting around and can't get to the box, you can also consider reducing the space the cat has to roam.

You can take them to the Austin Humane Society to be fixed-- they do TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release) so that they won't be having anymore kittens. The young kittens could be surrendered to AAC.

Are you talking about feral cats and kittens? APA doesn't take community intakes, but you can call animal control to trap them or trap them yourself and take them to AAC or the Austin Humane Society to get fixed. Young cats and kittens can often be rehabilitated and adopted as well -- I personally am a foster for APA and am currently rehabilitating two very young ferals. Fixing feral cats is an incredibly important aspect of reducing feral animal populations and preventing more homeless and feral kittens from being born.

The employees and volunteers at the shelter are VERY busy and probably won't be able to answer you. Your best option is to visit the dog you're interested in adopting and get to know the little guy yourself! That way you can make your own judgement, and visit with some other pups!

I want to know if all the pets you had in the Shelter were scan ? Because I lost my Black Cat, he has Microchip, I call but nobody answer

Yes, every pet has a microchip. If you got a pet from pets alive, you should have some documentation with the registration number for the microchip as well

I woukd like to donate to a no kill shelter fostering or caring for hurricane Harvey animals.

Do you have therapy cats? I have a patient who has an order from his doctor to get a Theropy Cat. Do you know where he can get litter and cat food free? Thank you, Dottie Sweeton, LMSW

Someone else may be able to provide a better answer -- but therapy animals are generally specially trained or simply registered as ESA (which makes them exempt from pet housing exclusions). APA! Has many animals that could provide emotional support but you probably won't find a trained therapy cat-- a cat described as personable and a lap cat or a young well adjusted kitten may be preferred. Personally I adopted one of my cats from AAC at 8weeks old and registered her as an ESA, and she has grown into a lovely cuddly cat. I would look around at cats and kittens in foster and find one that suits your patient's needs.
