Beyond No Kill to Yes Alive!
Austin Pets Alive! is doing what we always do: innovating. We exist to permanently transform the
way communities address the needs of at-risk pets. As we look at the current challenges within
the animal shelter community, we see unlimited opportunities, but only if we think beyond the
current shelter/kennel system. We want to vastly increase the number of animals we can serve,
elevate the quality and effectiveness of that service region-wide, and act strategically for the
entire shelter community in Austin, Texas, and beyond. Our four-pronged Yes Alive! campaign is
urgent and achievable, and it will revolutionize the shelter ecosystem. Strategically, it meets the
needs of the four groups of animals at highest risk of being killed.
k For the sick and injured animals who are treatable and can live long, happy lives—
a centrally-located regional hospital
l For the emotionally traumatized dogs who can be trained and guided into loving homes—
a Center for Dog Fear and Trauma Recovery
m For the adoptable pets who spend time warehoused in substandard kennels—
a reassuring place to foster, connect, and adopt
n For animals from around Texas who need adopters in other
parts of the country where a shortage of adoptable
pets exists —a transportation hub
