Monthly Report on License Agreement 2024-08 August This report is in agreement with the terms outlined in Section 8.4 of the License Agreement between the City of Austin and Austin Pets Alive! with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis County through our partnership with Austin Animal Center. Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) is consistently the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving. APA! takes animals that have medical and behavioral concerns that require a higher cost per animal than the average healthy animal, in an effort to have a measurable effect on the live release rate at AAC. APA! Intakes transferred from AAC: 147 animals were transferred out of AAC to all rescue partners in August per the AAC dashboard. Of these, 127 (86.4%) were credited to APA!. However, APA! documented 142 total transfers from AAC in August, with the discrepancy showing in dog numbers. This discrepancy may be due to differences in the recorded dates of boarding dogs being permanently transferred to APA! for adoption. 31 animals were born in APA!’s care to pregnant animals sent from AAC. Additionally, APA! took in 14 pets directly from owners within Travis county through the PASS program that should have otherwise entered AAC. This makes for 45 intakes diverted from AAC in August. AAC-APA! Dog Boarding Agreement: A total of 18 dogs were transferred to APA! for boarding in August: ● 1 returned to AAC for owner reclaim ● 8 were adopted through APA! (reflected as Dog Space transfers) ● 9 remain in boarding custody AAC - Cat Behavior AAC - Cat Bottle Baby AAC - Cat Maternity AAC - Cat Medical AAC - Cat Space AAC - Dog Behavior Large/Medium AAC - Dog Behavior Small AAC - Dog Bottle Baby AAC - Dog Maternity AAC - Dog Medical AAC - Dog Parvo Transfer AAC - Dog Space Large/Medium AAC - Dog Space Small TOTAL DIRECT TRANSFERS AAC - Cat BIC AAC - Dog BIC TOTAL AAC Travis - PASS Travis - Parvo OS/PASS TOTAL TRANSFER + DIVERSIONS 0 81 4 20 0 5 1 0 9 2 9 0 11 142 13 18 173 10 4 187 1 of 3 © 2024 Austin Pets Alive!
