Adopt or foster a post-parvo treatment puppy, so we can continue saving more! Here are some of the available cuties!

05/14/2022

Hi everyone!
These are puppies we have available for adoption. Most of them are parvo survivors who need out in order to make room for other parvo survivors!

Come out and look at some puppies, so we can continue rescuing more!

Hey everyone!

We have 31 negative puppies in our parvo ward with nowhere for them to go! This takes up room for other parvo positive puppies that need rescue from euthanasia.

We will adopt to anywhere in the country as long as you provide the transportation.

I mean, look cute little French Toast. These puppies are stinkin' CUTE and need your help! If you can't foster or adopt, please share the word!

Thank you all,
Lauren

Austin Pets Alive! is not your average animal shelter. We pioneer innovative lifesaving programs designed to save the animals most at risk of euthanasia.

Hey everyone!

We are trying to make sure we're prepared for this approaching cold snap.

Supplies we could use donated before Wednesday evening:

- Jugs of bottled water
- Chicken or beef baby food
- Human food that will not spoil. Highest priority is canned food like soup, some vegan, some with meat. Fruit will also last in a chilled environment for a couple of days. Heating microwavable meals is a possibility. Snacks!

Thank you in advance for anything you are able to donate!

FYI - We are also canceling all of our appointments for Thursday and Friday. We will be reaching out to you to reschedule if you have an appointment scheduled. Our phones should still be monitored 9am-7pm, but we will have skeleton staff onsite for our hospitalized patients and emergencies.

UPDATE: if you are delivering donations specifically for the clinic, feel free to peek your head in the front door of the clinic to hand them off to us 🙂

Best,
Lauren

Currently, Cashew has a feeding tube until he is able to eat on his own. Despite these setbacks, Cashew is recovering well and currently house-hunting.

Hey everyone!

***LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO BATHE POST PARVO PUPPIES***

This little pup and her siblings finally tested NEGATIVE for parvo today 😁 This means they need to get out of the parvo ward to continue their journey in finding their furever homes. In order to leave the ward, these puppies need a full bath to bathe off any parvo that may still be in their fur. Who would like to volunteer to help us bathe some puppies?! Gowns/gloves/booties provided by the clinic!

Bathing these puppies will not only help them stay safe and expedite the process in finding their future adopters, but it will also help clear space for other (parvo positive) puppies in need!

03/03/2020

The clinic parvo ward desperately needs a washer to be donated and delivered to APA! As soon as possible. If you are able to help please call the clinic at 512-466-0720. The puppies thank you in advance!!

Thank you to everyone who has donated to help Toes as he starts his journey to recovery! His chip-in goal has been met, and then some, thanks to the generosity of our supporters!

Toes just arrived at our clinic and needs your help now!

We received a call yesterday from a San Angelo animal hospital about a puppy that came into their car after being hit by a car and abandoned on the side of the road. When they scanned his microchip, they traced it back to us. It turns out that he was adopted less than a year ago, but when we reached out to the previous owners, they said that they had given the dog to someone else and they could no longer care for him. Due to the severity of his injuries and no one claiming him, the animal hospital was going to euthanize him.

Never turning our backs on our animals, we said we would be on our way immediately. We plead transport and someone from our amazing community stepped forward to drive West the four hours there and back in order to save Toes's life. He's now safe in our care where will be monitoring his head trauma and performing surgery to fix his fractured jaw. We need to raise the funds to do these things, as well as cover the costs from the animal hospital. If you can help us give Toes his second chance at life, please donate to his medical fund tonight. We're going to do everything we can to heal this sweat one-year-old. https://www.austinpetsalive.org/donate/medical-chip-ins/toess-head-trauma-care-and-jaw-surgery

Give today to Raise A Day For APA! so we continue all the amazing work that happens here in the clinic every single day. We have a goal to raise $24K in 24 hours, the costs of operating just one day here at APA! Please donate so we can keep saving the lives that need us most. We couldn't do what we do here without your support!

It’s never a dull day at the Medical Triage and Wellness Clinic! Operating 70 hours a week, seeing someone from our clinic is the first stop for all the animals in our care. There are many different programs here at APA!, but our clinic is the only one that interacts with every single animal that comes through APA!’s doors. In one year, our medical staff sees, on average, 7,500 animals, ranging from simple intake procedures to medical emergencies.

The medical staff has revolutionized the management of shelter care by using careful budgeting and agreeing to save them all rather than fall back on euthanasia. Give today so we can continue saving all the lives that need us most!

Mrs. Corn is a panleukopenia survivor but her troubles didn't stop there. She also is struggling with Intussusception, which is caused by excessive motion in the intestines which is overstimulated by a foreign body (such as a string), intestinal parasites, a tumor, irritation of the intestine or a viral infection. Surgery is the only way to heal her of this. This little kitten has already been through so much in her young life, she deserves to be pain-free. Please donate to her medical fund so we can make sure the rest of her years are just that. https://www.austinpetsalive.org/donate/medical-chip-ins/mrs-corns-intussusception-surgery

He's been hospitalized in our clinic as of late for having issues with urinary blockage. We're going to perform a perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery to reconstruct his urethra so he's able to express his bladder free of pain, but we're calling on you to help us raise the funds to do so.

Please give to Hue's medical fund if you're able. We want to make sure he heals so he can go back to the adoption center to find his forever home. https://www.austinpetsalive.org/donate/medical-chip-ins/hughs-perineal-urethrostomy-pu-surgery

Argus has been having a tough time. He has a pr*****ed colon, which causes it to pop out of place. He underwent a simple procedure to try and put it back but it didn't take. We need to do more of an invasive surgery where we'll attach his colon to the side of his body wall so it can't pop out anymore. It will be a difficult journey to recovery, but we know this beautiful boy will pull through. If you'd like to help him get there, please donate to his medical fund today. https://www.austinpetsalive.org/donate/medical-chip-ins/arguss-colon-surgery

Little baby Lasso is on distemper watch. When this happens with a liter of puppies, all of them need to be treated. Treatment includes intensive vitamin C through IVs as well as each puppy receiving a catheter.
