Celebrate Love Your Rescue Pet Day! #LYRPD
We are so honored to be a partner in Austin Pets Alive! Love Your Rescue Pet Day on Saturday, July 18! This is a super event that brings together businesses to help support this rescue. Partners donate 10 percent of the day's sales to Austin Pets Alive to help them carry on their important work.
We have an extra special connection with Austin Pets Alive so we're going to be donating 10 percent of the week's sales to the event, all the way through Saturday night. Just a little over a year ago, we adopted our kitten Lucky at Austin Pets Alive!, a wonderful rescue that has helped make Austin a no-kill city.
Lucky (then Tuxie) was originally from Bastrop, a nearby small town, and was being held by their animal control shelter before Austin Pets Alive came in and transferred him. We saw him on the APA website one evening, and we were at the shelter before they opened the next morning!
Austin Pets Alive does an incredible job, pulling pets from overcrowded shelters that are at risk of euthanasia. They also care for many special needs pets with these programs:
- Parvo Puppy ICU: to care for dogs and puppies with parvovirus
- Neonatal Kitten Nursery: to feed and treat orphaned, unweaned kittens
- Dog Behavior Program: to assist dogs that require behavioral assistance and training
- Dazey’s Ward: to treat cats with ringworm (which our cat Inca had when we adopted her!)
- Barn Cat Program: to help undersocialized or feral cats
- FeLV Sanctuary: to house and find homes for cats with Feline Leukemia
We hope you'll join us this week and help us support the great work that Austin Pets Alive! does. Your purchases can make a huge difference in the lives of homeless and special needs animals!
