Monthly Report on License Agreement January 2026 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: Our role is to provide a safety net for pets that cannot be saved at AAS. However, in January 2026, 7 animals were transferred from AAS to APA! as courtesy space pulls. This accounts for 8.5% of the month’s intake for AAS. Additionally, APA! took in 102 pets directly from within Travis County through the PASS Program or directly from Travis County civilians that should have otherwise entered AAS.

Transfers from AAS as % of Annual Goal APA! must: (a) Select a sufficient number of animals from the At-Risk List so that at the end of each year of the Term, APA! will have selected from the At-Risk List 12% of the total number of animals taken in by AAS during the preceding year. AAS Dog & Cat Intake Total in FY26: 373 Animals APA! Transfer Requirement for FY26: 1,360 Animals As of the end of January 2026, APA! has taken 27% of the total animal number required for the fiscal year. This total puts us ahead of schedule for our annual goal. For APA! to reach its target, it will need to pull just 124 animals each coming month within the fiscal year. Impact of APA! Transfers on AAS Live Release Rate (LRR) As APA! takes animals directly from AAS’s At-Risk list, this chart attempts to show what the AAS Live Release Rate 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 AAS live outcomes.
