Monthly Report on License Agreement 2025-05 May 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. Our mission is to keep Austin No Kill by taking in the animals that have medical and behavioral concerns that the city cannot care for or treat. Since 2011, due to our partnership with Austin Animal Center to take the animals at risk of euthanasia, our city has been the largest No Kill city in the US. APA! Intakes transferred from AAC: In May 2025, 256 animals (per APA! audited records) were transferred from AAC to APA! for lifesaving care and placement. 23 animals were born in APA!’s care to pregnant animals sent from AAC. Additionally, APA! took in 25 pets directly from owners within Travis county through the PASS program that should have otherwise entered AAC. This makes for 48 intakes diverted from AAC in May.

In addition to the missing data in AAC’s online data portal, we have experienced the following challenges as of May 2025 in our standard daily communications: Missing / invalid rabies certificates Rabies certificates are not included in the records we receive from AAC. Currently, all rabies certificates generated in AAC's Shelter Buddy are not signed and are invalid, which has necessitated re-administering rabies vaccines to most animals after transfer. Missing behavior information It appears that medical and behavior records are not combined in the current records template. We are primarily receiving medical records, with behavior information largely missing. Our team needs to request this separately, causing delays in assessing animals. Photos not included The copies of records that APA! is receiving do not include photos and have to be requested separately. This makes it difficult to plea animals to foster prior to arrival. Missing pleas APA! is not receiving all pleas that AAC is intending to send. This may primarily be an internal process error, but there have been a handful of animals that the AAC team has inquired about the status of that APA! was never made aware of. Previously, daily Attention list could be audited to ensure that all transfer requests were accounted for, but we have been informed that daily lists will no longer be sent. This has and will continue to cause delays in assessing and pulling transfers. 4 of 4 © 2025 Austin Pets Alive!
