[nndl] Fwd: FixAustin Partners with Austin Pets Alive!

Neighbors,

Below is a message that FixAustin.org sent out to our supporters about a wonderful new effort in town led by Austin Pets Alive.  They are implementing some of the adoption methods that we've been pushing the city's shelter to implement, and we're trying to help them.  If you've got some room in your house (and your heart), please consider fostering a pet through Austin Pets Alive.  Links for more information are in the e-mail below.Thanks,
Ryan

As a humorous aside, Lee Leffingwell told a friend of mine that he was actually quite pleased with our write-up about him ("I got three paws!").  He said he expected much worse.

Agreed--- that's why I said "generally."  Their rule is not to take found dogs, but they will make exceptions.  Definitely worth a shot, and thanks for making that very valid point, Mary.

Hi, all

I work at the Humane Society as a volunteer and they often do take
"found" dogs. They do take in dogs/kitties that people have rescued -
as in this case - they have been fostering the dog for a few days.

It cannot hurt to call them -

Mary

They also rescue dogs from the Town Lake Center.

Re: [nndl] Re: [NNADL] FW: [Skyview] FOUND dog (help)

Unfortunately, the Austin Humane Society is unlikely to take her.  They are not an open-admission facility and generally do not take strays; only owner surrenders.  And worse still, the pound is very likely to kill her.There is, however, a new option for those in need of finding a home for a pet.  Austin Pets Alive may be able to help.  Call (512) 689-1885 to find out.

You might also contact PawMatch, at 243-3700, who has adopted out more pets in Austin than any other non-profit the last two years.

Neighbors,

I know that it will come as no surprise to anyone on this list, but yet again, Patrick has demonstrated his extraordinary ignorance and intolerance for reason.  If you bothered to read his e-mail, you may also wish to know the truth.
