Monthly Report on License Agreement 2025-10 October 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 Services. 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 Services to take the animals at risk of euthanasia, our city has been the largest No Kill city in the US. APA! Intakes transferred from AAS: In October 2025, 151 animals were transferred from AAS to APA! (per APA! audited records) for lifesaving care and placement. This accounts for 15% of AAS’s total intake for the month. Additionally, APA! took in 13 pets directly from within Travis county through the PASS program that should have otherwise entered AAS.

AAS Dog & Cat Intake Total in FY25: 11,331 APA!

Outcomes of animals originating from AAS This looks at the outcomes of animals in the reporting month who originally came from Austin Animal Services (all time). *Death in Care is comprised of animals who died while receiving appropriate care for their condition. 2 of 4 © 2025 Austin Pets Alive! Impact of APA! Transfers on AAC Live Release Rate (LRR) for Month As APA! takes animals directly from AAC’s At-Risk list, this chart attempts to show what the AAS LRR might look like without transfers to APA. While there is no perfect way to calculate this metric since it is impossible to know what would have happened were these animals not pulled by APA, this is one way to illustrate APA’s effect on AAC live outcomes. *Due to ongoing data gaps in the AAS public data dashboards, these numbers are being reported for the previous month, based on data shared in the AAS report.
