APA! is on a mission to permanently
transform the way communities treat
at-risk pets. In doing so, we can eliminate
killing in shelters.
Shelters are a merely-adequate resource for perhaps 80%
of uncared-for pets, but the other 20% languish or lose their
lives. APA! spearheaded the movement that led to Austin
becoming the largest No Kill city in the country. Our mission
to save lives is the foundation of everything we do, but
emphasis on No Kill is now not enough.
Our National Influence
YES ALIVE! is the future of care for at-risk pets. A future that
builds trailblazing infrastructure for all neglected animals,

communities across the nation through Texas

with emphasis on those animals now lost in our system. As
we seek financial partners to transform the shelter care
system, we are focused on new models of care for the sick,
the traumatized, and the lost and lonely. With your help,
we will say YES! to each and every pet needing care.
900+ animal welfare professionals from
across the U.S have traveled to APA! to
learn from our experts.
Our thought leadership within the animal
shelter community extends to policy and law,
both in the state of Texas and nationwide.
We rally communities to save thousands
of lives in natural disasters: Bastrop fires
(2011), Hurricane Harvey (2017), and Winter
Storm Uri (2021).
We created Human Animal Support Services
(HASS), a national coalition of animal
services leaders and more than 30 pilot
organizations dedicated to transforming the
traditional shelter system.
This is how we will eliminate killing in shelters.
